Silicon Rust

[Intro]
[Verse]
I found it under the radiator
Popular Mechanics, June ninety-seven
The cover was a silver bullet
A commuter pod for every man
No more traffic, no more roads
Just blue sky and chrome
I believed the glossy ink
I was ready for the brink
[Chorus]
WHERE IS MY JETPACK?
YOU PROMISED THE CLOUDS!
NOW I’M JUST BROKE!
AND THE TOASTER IS LOUD!
IT’S ALL JUST PLASTIC!
IT’S ALL JUST LIES!
I WANTED THE MOON!
BUT I GOT WIFI!
[Post-Chorus]
(Everything breaks in three months)
(Everything turns into junk)
(The future is a subscription)
(The future is a bad funk)
[Break]
[Verse]
(The burrito sits on the desk)
(Frozen solid in the core)
(Like the heart of the dream)
(Rotting on the laminate floor)
(The hoverboard is a paperweight)
(Dead in the corner of the garage)
(A lithium fire in waiting)
(A neon-colored mirage)
[Pre-Chorus]
(I thought we’d be gods)
(I thought we’d be stars)
(Instead of these apps)
(And these rental cars)
[Chorus]
(WHERE IS THE FUTURE?)
(THE JETPACK IS GONE!)
(SMART TOASTER BROKE!)
(ON THE VERY FIRST DAWN!)
(IT’S ALL JUST PLASTIC!)
(IT’S ALL JUST LIES!)
(I WANTED THE MOON!)
(BUT I GOT WIFI!)
[Bridge]
(The microwave hums a G-sharp)
(The butter knife scrapes the wire)
(Out of tune and out of time)
(Throw the modem in the fire)
(I really wanted to fly, you know?)
(High above the strip mall smog)
(But the firmware needs an update)
(And I’m drowning in the fog)
[Verse]
(The Casio beat is skipping)
(The tape loop is getting thin)
(I’m looking for the silver suit)
(Underneath my wrinkled skin)
(The manual is written in code)
(The customer service is a bot)
(I gave you all my wonder)
(And this is all I got)
[Build-up]
(It’s just a toaster)
(It’s just a toaster)
(It’s just a toaster)
(That won’t even toast)
[Chorus]
(WHERE IS MY JETPACK?)
(YOU PROMISED THE CLOUDS!)
(NOW I’M JUST BROKE!)
(AND THE TOASTER IS LOUD!)
(IT’S ALL JUST PLASTIC!)
(IT’S ALL JUST LIES!)
(I WANTED THE MOON!)
(BUT I GOT WIFI!)
