Another place another time It might've worked out and we'd all been fine But we engineered our own downfall We citizens of the global sprawl It didn't take much to stumble and fall Not much at all Now we're hanging out in different rooms All pretending to cherish meetings on Zoom Supposed to strengthen all our ties But your faces all seem demoralized I can see the light growing dim in your eyes You're in your room and I'm in mine We're both dreaming of another time When someday soon we'll meet again And then maybe we all can hug our friends And be real again
