Cabaret Voltaire

Lyrics

Ghostalk

The silence of language

Anonymous hands

With a nameless device

No name, no slogan

No name, no slogan

No name, no slogan

No name, no slogan

It's safe to say

The attention span is intact

Undivided, oblivious minds outside

Shall remain unenlightened

Information regurgitated

And forced into machines

No name, no slogan

No name, no slogan

Attention cycle never broken

No name, no slogan

Anonymous eyes shall never open

No name, no slogan

No name, no slogan

Here, the edge is thin

And skin is far too thin

So thin the device divides

And cuts up time and again

No name, no slogan

No name, no slogan

No name, no slogan

Â€¦

The silence of language

Anonymous hands
