    LYRICS
    Well, what can I do?
    Well, what can I do?
    Okay, yes
    We are bored
    We're all bored now
    But has it ever occurred to you
    The process that creates this boredom
    That we see in the world now
    May very well be
    A self-perpetuating
    Unconscious form of brainwashing
    Created by a world totalitarian government
    Based on money
    And that all of this
    Is much more dangerous than one thinks?
    And it's not just a question
    Of individual survival
    But that somebody who's bored is asleep
    And somebody who's asleep will not say no
    See, I keep meeting these people
    I mean, just a few days ago
    I met this man that I greatly admire
    He's a Swedish physicist
    And he told me that he no longer watches television
    He doesn't read newspapers
    And he doesn't read magazines
    He's completely cut them out of his life
    Because he really does feel
    That we're living
    In some kind of Orwellian nightmare now
    And that everything that you hear now
    Contributes to turning you into a robot
    When I was at Findhorn
    I met this extraordinary English tree expert
    Who had devoted his life to saving trees
    84 years old and he always travels with a backpack
    Because he never knows
    Where he's gonna be tomorrow
    When I met him at Findhorn and he said to me
    "Where are you from?"
    And I said, "New York."
    He said, "Ah, New York.
    Yes, that's a very interesting place.
    Do you know a lot of New Yorkers who keep talking about the fact that they want to leave but Never do?"
    And I said, "Oh, yes."
    And he said, "Why do you think they don't leave?"
    I gave him different banal theories.
    He said, "Oh, I don't think it's that way at all."
    He said, "I think New York is the new model for the new concentration camp
    Where the camp
    Has been built
    By the inmates themselves
    And the inmates are the guards
    And they have this pride
    In this thing they built.
    They built their own prison
    And so they exist
    In a state of schizophrenia
    Where they are both guards and prisoners
    And as a result
    They no longer have
    Having been lobotomized
    The capacity to leave
    The prison they've made
    Or to even see it as a prison."
    And then he went into his pocket
    And he took out a seed for a tree
    And he said
    "This is a pine tree."
    Put in my hand and he said
    "Escape before it's too late."
    Escape before it's too late
    Escape before it's too late
    We should get out.
    Get out of here
    Escape before it's too late
    Escape before it's too late
    Escape before it's too late
    This is the beginning
    Of the rest of the future now
    Escape before it's too late
    See, actually for two or three years now
    Chiquita and I have had this very unpleasant feeling
    That we really should get out
    And we really feel like Jews in Germany in the late '30s
    Get out of here
    Of course, the problem is where to go
    Because it seems quite obvious
    That the whole world is going in the same direction
    See, I think it's quite possible
    That the 1960s represented
    The last burst of a human being
    Before he was extinguished
    And that this is the beginning
    Of the rest of the future now
    That from now on
    There'll simply be all these robots walking around
    Feeling nothing
    Thinking nothing
    And there'll be nobody left almost
    To remind them
    That there once was a species
    Called a human being
    With feelings and thoughts
    And that history and memory
    Are right now being erased
    And, soon, nobody will really remember
    That life existed on the planet
    Escape before it's too late
    Escape before it's too late
    We should get out.
    Get out of here
    Escape before it's too late
    Escape before it's too late
    Escape before it's too late
    This is the beginning
    Of the rest of the future now
    Escape before it's too late

    Cultures are hive-mind personalities, sometimes they get pathological and self-harming.
    Human beings are bound by history having to escape endlessly from their flawed selves.
    Akira seems to have this ability to see more shine of meaning into our mysteriously patterned world than most people.
