Fast times are here to stay
Are we taking sides?
A new toy dropped by your door
Here's your new device
You dig this new distraction because it's bubble wrapped
And It makes you feel so good
Like you were in control, like you get to choose
You're not quite aligned with the company
It's old, but confrontation is the only way
To take control and to break free
And now, you feel so blessed
Because you have the chance to give away your dignity
Is this who you want to be?
Fast times, my friend slow dive
Into a darker place where everything is alright
Fast times, my friend slow dive
Can we find a way? (Can we find a way?)
Now that system chewed you and spitted you back
You've learned that blocking the cogs is the only way to stop
This thing, this smiling evil, invisible threat
This tumor needs surgery
Let's go, you feel so blessed
Because you have the chance to give away your dignity
Is this who you want to be?
Fast times, my friend slow dive
Into a darker place where everything is alright
Fast times, my friend slow dive
Can we find a way? (Can we find a way?)
When I take a walk on the street I just see bright greedy eyes
No sense of comradeship just arrogance and tightened up ties
And this is how the desire dies

Slow it down now. Be what you wanna be
Slow it down now. Be what you wanna be
(Fast times) Slow it down now. Be what you wanna be
(Fast times) Slow it down now. Be what you wanna be
Fast times, my friend slow dive
Can we find a way? (Can we find a way?)
