Living in the Plastic Age Lyrics

Everyday my metal friend,
Shakes my bed at 6 AM.
And the shining serving clones,
Run in with my telephones.

Holding fast to make a deal,
Buy what's fake and sell what's real.
What's this pain here in my chest?
Maybe I should take a rest.

(Chorus)
They send the heart police to put you under
cardiac arrest,
As they drag you through the door,
They tell you that you failed the test.

Living in the...

Living in the plastic age,
Looking only half my age.
Hello doctor, lift my face,
I wish my skin could stand in place.

In my bed I read my mind,
Remember how the mice were blind?
They look so frightening in their cage,
Could this be the plastic age?

(Chorus)
They send the heart police to put you under
cardiac arrest,
As they drag you through the door,
They tell you that you failed the test.

Living in the...

Plastic age.
Plastic age.
Plastic age.

(Chorus)
They send the heart police to put you under
cardiac arrest,
As they drag you through the door,
They tell you that you failed the test.

Living in the...

Plastic age.
Plastic age.
Plastic age.
