Lyrics I wrote to the rhythm of 'Virtual Insanity'

[SilentSadness]

Original lyrics: https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/jamiroquai/virtualinsanity.html

My lyrics:

Oh, no
What we're living in
Let me tell you

It is a tragedy to be alive
When you can't do what you want to
'Cause this game, is just the same, as a nightmare made just for us
And I'm suffering so much in this world, only to be told
I can't escape, I can't dream, no more can I sleep
And nothing's gonna change society
'Cause everyone is drunk on misery
And now that we live completely online, see
Woah, reality sucks so I'll stay online
And I just don't want to have to live in someone else's world
Where all there is are

Work-lives, made of, artificial scarcity
Repeating, always, the cruel jobs that make us money
For painful, cycles, of despair and loneliness
Oh, there would be no pain, if we all caught the train

And I know just what a mess we're in
Hard to know where to begin
If I could dream, instead of see, the mess that nature made
And now every parent can choose whether we suffer
But that's nature's way
Well I'll pretend I'm in a game
Otherwise I will go insane
I think I will invent my own religion
'Woah, that's so insane'
That's what pro-lifers say
There's something in this world that
I just hate, so

Futures, made of, virtual reality
Now always, seem to, be hated by others who want to
Keep you, trapped here, rejecting technology
Oh, now there is no pain, at least while I play this game, ahh

There is no hellscape
If in fantasy we escape
To live in virtual reality
Forget your artificial scarcity
Oh, there's nothing so bad
As being sad
Oh, yeah, it sucks, so
Live in virtual reality

Ooh
This will all end someday

Futures, made of, virtual reality
Now always, seem to, be hated by others who want to
Keep you, trapped here, rejecting technology
Oh, now there is no pain, at least while I play this game, ahh

Oh now we live in delusion
Which world is deluded?
Outside the daydream, you know
Life sucks more than people think
There is nothing worse than
Going outside, so
Virtual reality is what we choose to live in
Well, it's alright here

Well done. You're speaking your truth We need more people to stand up and speak theirs. You might make others uncomfortable speaking your truth but it needs to be spoken.
