[Verse 1] Nick Land saw the writing on the wall Capital flows like lava, consuming all Nineteen ninety-four, he wrote of crash and burn When markets melt the future, there's no return Acceleration spirals out of control Technology devours the human soul [Chorus] The future's lost, it melts away In capital's eternal play No tomorrow, just the flow Of money's endless undertow The future's lost, we can't escape This cybernetic landscape [Verse 2] Wark speaks of molecules in motion red The climate crisis fills us all with dread Nature's labor hidden from our view But capital extracts what it can use The future burns in fossil fuel desire While we dance around the dying fire [Chorus] The future's lost, it melts away In capital's eternal play No tomorrow, just the flow Of money's endless undertow The future's lost, we can't escape This cybernetic landscape [Bridge] But Bastani dreams of luxury for all Automation breaks the market's wall Solar panels gleam and robots work While humans rest where algorithms lurk Maybe technology can set us free From scarcity's old tyranny [Verse 3] Three visions of tomorrow's fading light Land sees chaos, Wark sees climate fight Bastani hopes for automated bliss But all agree we're standing at abyss The supplements reveal what we have lost The future sold, but what's the cost? [Chorus] The future's lost, it melts away In capital's eternal play No tomorrow, just the flow Of money's endless undertow The future's lost, we can't escape This cybernetic landscape [Outro] Read the supplements to understand How we lost the future's promised land Land and Wark and Bastani show Where tomorrow used to go
