We'll say it perfectly and it slips right through the cracks
They'll mince our words down to a nugget for the masses
And they'll push it down the conveyor belt once more, more
Something for everyone, something that's so different from before, before

It shines
Better look back cause I see that (that) better than before
Look how it shines
Better look back cause I see that (that) better than before

Give us a reason why you're feeding us this way
Our minds are thirsty and our appetites depraved
And our children say there's no time to play no more, more
Their books are on the lawn
Conversations gone
I'm bored
Want more

It shines
Better look back cause I see that (that) better than before
Look how it shines
Better look back cause I see that (that) better than before

This whole thing's gonna keep us in a daze
Never quite figure it out the questions remain
Better look back cause I see that
Better better look back
Better look back cause I see that
Better better look back

Better look back cause I see that better better
Look how it shines
Better look back cause I see that (that) better than before
Look how it shines
Better look back cause I see that (that) better than before

It shines
Better than before
Look how it shines
Better look back cause I see that (that) better than before
