ANNEX The Veldt by deadmau5
Happy life with the machines scattered around the room Look what they made, they made it for me happy, technology Outside the lions roam, feeding on remains We'll never leave, look at us now So in love with the way we are, here The world that the children made The world that the children made Every night they rock us to sleep, digital family Is it real or is it a dream, can you believe the machines Outside, the beating sun, can you hear the screams We'll never leave, look at us now So in love with the way we are, here The world that the children made The world that the children made, here The world that the children made, here The world that the children made Here The world that the children made Here The world that the children made, here The world that the children made
