caught in the breakdown

how long
until we make a change
caught in the breakdown

people around me are stumbling by
distracted every day
living their life through some wonderous device
and typing what they say
caught in the noises they pump in their heads
they disconnect from me
i try to engage but they're stuck in their cage
it's not reality

how long
until we make a change
caught in the breakdown

look in the faces that cannot see me
their eyes behind a haze
stay up to the minute, they're pulled right back in it
can't miss the latest craze
finding it harder to communicate
it's all a mystery
the acronyms pour on and language is forlorn
is this our destiny

we're caught in the breakdown
we're caught in the breakdown

how long
until we make a change
caught in the breakdown

people around me are slipping away
forgotten what life means
less interaction and constant distraction
they're lost in the machines
where are we going and what's to become
of them and you and me
increased agitation and more isolation
the new society

we're caught in the breakdown
we're caught in the breakdown
