Counter Culture

All I ever really wanted
Was a perfect place to hide
An analogous existence
Unseen by the camera’s eye
No confrontation, no contamination
No admittance without invite:
An android’s dream of self-defence
Made organic through artificial intelligence

Now every single second
I do a thousand things
The accumulation of encrypted signals augments my reality
The future may be overcrowded
But I’m counting down the days
I’ve got wisdom beyond my years
And the esteem of my peers
And I’ve got the stats to prove it

There’s safety in numbers, the future’s in crowds
Is there a better way, don’t we know by now?
All I ever wanted was to know what counts
And look what we’ve found
