"Artificial Life" lyrics - WOLF PARADE

Leave this place
Exit this city
Now it belongs to the royalty

They've got everything
But that everything was not for you and me
We're just part of the scenery

Ooh, ooh, no
Artificial life
Ooh, ooh, no
Artificial life
Ooh, ooh, no
Artificial life
Is all we get

Who took our days
Who turned our days to nights
And who turned out the sun

I heard them say
I heard them say, if the flood should ever come
We'd be the last to the lifeboats

Ooh, ooh, no
Artificial life
Ooh, ooh, no
Artificial life
Ooh, ooh, no
Artificial life
That's all we get

And it was calculated
Made us believe in all these visions first
And it was orchestrated
You watch your life run in reverse

We'll move to somewhere that we hate
We'll learn to love flyover states
It goes on and on, love
They're gettin' fat

They feed us trash
They feed us trash

So clip the wings
Clip the wings, walk on earth
Everything
Everything will return to dirt
We're still last to the lifeboats
