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
