[Verse 1]
How in the world can I explain?
When the words leap off from the page
Is there a way to celebrate?
When I'm scared straight from the past parades
[Pre-Chorus]
The kids are throwing all their charms
At the latest token victory march
With no more trails to blaze
[Chorus]
This is not connection
It's only an impression
[Verse 2]
How in the world can I compete?
When they're plugged into the new machines
Laser-focused on the screens
That will deliver them their self esteem
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Well, their ears all ring in monotone
With their bodies snug in memory foam
I can't help it
I wanna hear them scream
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Plug on in [x9]
[Chorus - Variation]
This is not connection
This is not affection
It's only an impression
This is not connection
