I'm not saying you are wrong - or that you have no realistation, but are you really that sure ... sure you know enough to be certain those who follow other paths are definitely misguided? That they are not simply approaching the same from a different point of view? That they are not perfectly expressing their divinity right now? Come on, how much do you really know? How much of the bigger picture do you really see? 90%? 50%? 1%?

[Spoken word]
Well, the old model is now unsupported, no longer maintained and incompatible with many of my favourite apps ... so upgrade is desireable, somewhat necessary, even forced to be honest, but I'm sure has nothing to do with any sort of hard-nosed business marketing strategy ... our beloved manufacturer is way above short-changing or manipulation of its' loyal customer base. Hey, don't burst my bubble ... I need this ... after all, it's the way I choose to express my divinity!

Is It Misplaced?

All my love
All my love devote to you now
All my heart
All devotion direct to you now

Always searching for real reality
Disappointed confused in quest for truth

If I were searching for ways to squander my hard-earned pay
On things that serve me not, need or want in my life today

Say please continue, feel free persuade me dispose my cash

[Chorus v1]
My miraculous unbelievable multi-dimensional existence life
Reduce to 2D consumer slave to unnecessary necessities

[Verse 2]
If I were impressed by artificial intelligence
By technological imitation being-human
Then maybe I'd also confuse with progress driverless cars
Replace education with applications to think for me

[Chorus v2]
My miraculous unbelievable multi-dimensional existence life
Reduce to 2D infatuation with smarter-than-me-I-telephone

[Instrumental]

[Spoken Word]
I could be so much more. Why do I settle for this dumbed down version of my self? I'm no addicted consumer of products that fail to satisfy my soul, I don't believe technology will automatically enrich my life, and I am not the body I possess. It's an expression of me, a little bit like this song is, but it is not me.

[Verse 3]
If I were inclined to waste my human born form of life
Measure success by accumulation material
Of objects possess, but when I die leave them all behind
Identify 'I' — my body with me — my outer dress

[Chorus v3]
My miraculous unbelievable multi-dimensional existence life
Reduce to 2D electro-chemical interaction mechanical

[Repeat Chorus v1 & v2]
