Unwanted Electricity
Miles away
In wires, in streams of jumbled data
Collected together
And traveling above your cities
Unnoticed by most who pass by
Feeding your homes with loud noises
And warm things that keep you alive
Plugged into a source far away
But connected all over the world
Held high by tall statues
But swing low from sweet gravity
Miles around
People join hands in circles
Connected as one
A low hum of singing voices
Unnoticed by most who pass by
Circles all over the world
The source is severed in many places
Wires down in every nation
Lines electrocute all who pass by
What must become of the trampled ions
Positives and negatives clash in between
Unwanted electricity is what they become
They start fires in every home
But the warmth is never felt
Connected all over the world
The source is severed in many places
Unwanted electricity
Is all we've become
