On an island in the starlight amidst the
Solar breeze
A sad and lonely being is a-weeping for her trees
She does it underwater 'neath a blanket of rocky ground
Her anguish is so loud and long that it doesn't make a sound
But it's profound
That you know
That you know
That you know
Where this goes
Where this goes
Where this goes
From the deepest sea
To the oldest rock
To the highest point
On the mountaintop
To every last activist outlined in chalk
It goes
And you know
On an island in the starlight oh so
Very near to here
An ancient god of war is just a-shaking in his fear
He does it all on camera for his neighbor's growing brood
He knows real good what's coming to him
And why he's being viewed
They're gonna intrude
And you know
And you know
And you know
Where this goes
Where this goes
Where this goes
From old Icarus wings
To the rocketing jet
To the only because we can't get there yet
I just looked it up on the internet
Where it goes
And you know
I once read a short one by Sir Isaac
Asimov
It was a heavy little theory how a computer became God
Now you, I'm serenading from some software in the past
And though I ain't no deity, I still just have to ask
Behind this mask
If you know
If you know
If you know
How this goes
How this goes
How this goes
From the good old wheel carved out of stone
To the atomic bomb
To the smartest phone
To the social networks liked all alone
And you know
How this goes
How this goes
