I'm not talkin bout maybe
It's just my funny way yeah
Too much, what you want
And I'll state my case
I ain't givin it back
I ain't givin no more
Lay it out, get it on the floor
Curiosity of a child
Curiosity, think it's so wild
Curiosity of a child
Curiosity, think it's so wild
I'm not talkin bout maybe
It's just like fun and games yeah
Too much, what you want
And it ever changes
I ain't givin it back
I ain't givin, what for?
Lay it out, get in on the floor
Curiosity of a child
Curiosity, think it's so wild
Curiosity of a child
Curiosity, I think it's so wild
I feel for emotion
I like to get it all the time
And I dream in slow motion
So that I can always take my time
And I feel oh so real
Cause I will never cross that line.
I think of the sunlight
I always like to feel the heat
And I kiss under moonlight
It's a feeling that just can't be beat
And I rhyme with the times
Smilin at the faces I meet
Will I ever grow up, will I ever grow up
Will I ever grow up, will I ever grow up
Will I ever grow up, will I ever grow up
Will I ever give up, will I ever grow up
I feel for emotion
I like to get it all the time
And I dream in slow motion
So that I can always take my time
And I feel oh so real
Cause I will never cross that line
Will I ever grow up, will I ever grow up
Will I ever grow up, will I ever grow up
Will I ever grow up, will I ever grow up
Will I ever give up, will I ever grow up
I smell the scent out in the air
Telling tales of sadness I still can hear
There were lines of boldness
There were signs of madness
With the scent of fondness old times seem clear
I feel the sweat under my brow
Telling tales of softness how I felt so proud
There were times of goodness
There were times of badness
With the scent of fondness old times seem clear
The scent of fondness coming down on me again
The scent of fondness, how I felt with such a good friend
The scent of fondness coming down on me again
The scent of fondness
The shivers just rushed right through my veins
It almost felt the same
I feel the avarice like a raging bull
Breaking barriers as an animal
There were lines of goodness
There were times of anguish
With the scent of fondness my heart seemed full
With these scent's feelings come over me
When I think of things how they used to be
How we laughed and how we cried
How we lived and how we died
Drifting back to a lost energy
The scent of fondness coming down on me again
The scent of fondness, how I felt with such a good friend
The scent of fondness coming down on me again
The scent of fondness
Shivers just rushed right through my veins
It almost felt the same
Once there was a time, when my life shined
I could hold it out without crossin the line
I think it was good for me, I hope it was good for you
Now all that I could see was more that I could do.
You always knew what I would say
You turned your back and kept walkin away
You let it in while holding me out
You let me win while screamin to shout
I think it was good for me, I hope it was good for you
Now all that I could see was more that I could do
But I could take it home, oh yeah, alright, ah
Do my body good, oh yeah, alright, ah
Here we go
That was the day it all faded away
Not too much left but a few words to say
I think it was good for me, I hope it was good for you
Time had just passed us by and made it all brand new
You always knew what I would say
You turned your back and kept walkin away
You let it in while holding me out
You let me win while screamin to shout
I think it was good for me, I hope it was good for you
Time had just passed us by and made it all brand new
So I could take it home, oh yeah, alright, ah
Do my body good, oh yeah, alright, ah
Your life is passin by
Not done much and it makes you cry
You just don't feel like you belong
You're so far out of tune
Typing in your rubber room
You're tied to it and it's stuck on you
There is no time at all
Not a lot to do at all
All you do is take the fall
The computer age
There ain't no winning
There's no end or beginning
Just a million more innings
The computer age
Your curiosity is
All but gone you cannot see
Just sit there like a jello mold
Your spontaneity is
All but lost beside the screen
It's a concept that you can't conceive
You speak of survival
But you don't know your rival
Then you're sued for liable
The computer age
Don't know what love is
You look so blank and you got no fizz
An attitude that's so Les Miz
The computer age
The computer age
Your whole reality is
Built on unoriginality
Plus a program in and watch it pass you by
You're caught inside a web
And you will go where you are led
It's just a symptom of the times
There is no love at all
You can't even hear the call
All you do is sit and sprawl
The computer age
You don't know what life means
You're told the grass was always green
Out of control and so obscene
The computer age
The computer age
The computer age...
I always strive for
The things that I can't have
The things that I don't need
The things that I just want
I always strive for
The things that I can't have
The things that I don't need
The things that I just want
Lookin back on school days
All I wanted was a girl
But the ones I wanted
Were the cutest in the world
And I'm not no football star
I'm not that kind of guy
So I never found a babe
To look me in the eye
I always strive for
The things that I can't have
The things that I don't need
The things that I just want
I always strive for
The things that I can't have
The things that I don't need
The things that I just want
There are forces, forces at work
There are forces, forces at work
There may be a heaven
There may be an underworld
But in all the universe
There can only be one world
Think about what I have said
If that's what's written inside your head
And you'll know where you were led
And you might be better off dead
There are forces, forces at work
There are forces, forces at work
All the time that you were born to suffer
All the time that you were bored to ask
How many times must you report and listen
And you know how that feels, such a pain in the ass
There are forces, forces at work
There are forces, forces at work
All the time that you were born to suffer
All the time that you were bored to ask
How may times must you purport to listen
And then wind in a field like a snake in the grass
There are forces, forces at work
There are forces, forces at work
There are forces, forces at work
There are forces, forces at work
Have I ever been here before
Am I ever closing my door
Do I ever count in the facts
Would I ever make an attack
The times I have felt from within
To let self expression begin
And I'm not withholding the facts
But my whole existence just lacks
That's how it feels, so sad
Why it is, so bad
Why it feels, so sad
How it is, so bad
Have I ever spoke out of turn
Do I ever crash and then burn
Would I always cover my tracks
Will I always hold myself back
The times that I've tried to do right
Have felt like a lame oversight
I'm not try'ne stir up the pot
But I've had my fill of the lot
That's how it is, so sad
Why it feels, so bad
How it is, so bad
Why it feels, so sad
That's how it is
Why it feels
That's were it goes
And why it is
That's how it feels, so sad
Why it is, so bad
How it feels, so bad
Why it is, so sad.
You make me feel so complete, you make me feel so whole
And I can hardly believe, the way you're touching my soul
You make me feel so complete, you make me feel so whole
Mistakes I'll never repeat, the way you're touching my soul
Oh baby, I can hardly wait
You really turn me on
You're so amazing, we always can relate
And sing our favourite songs
When I met you I was hurt inside
You came and licked my wounds
You helped me to bring back the good times
You went and gave me the moon
You make me feel so complete, you make me feel so whole
No one could ever compete, the way you're touching my soul
You make me feel so complete, you make me feel so whole
And I can hardly believe, the way you're touching my soul
I like you just a little better every day
I can't believe this is real
I want to tell you so much more than words can say
The way that you make me feel
Something's happening there are changes in my mind
About the way that I am
You helped me to bring back the good times
You brought me back a whole man
You make me feel so complete, you make me feel so whole
And I can hardly believe, the way you're touching my soul
You make me feel so complete, you make me feel so whole
Mistakes I'll never repeat, the way you've captured my soul
You make me feel so complete, you make me feel so whole
You make me feel so complete, you make me feel so whole
La la la la la la, la la la la la la
Make me feel so complete, make me feel so whole.

Forces at work are swirling all around us. You cannot see them but they are there guiding and directing us. They may also be misguiding or influencing us. These forces tend to amplify the personal power struggle that lies at the core of the human condition. The eternal battle of good versus evil.
Advances in the fields of medicine, science and technology have unleashed a desensitizing assault on our human nature. This action is taking it's toll by making us more and more machine like with less and less self-awareness of our existing environments. The end of Y2K and the beginning of the new millennium has heralded in the full scale onslaught of the digitalization of man. We are now firmly planted in the computer age, the greatest era of psychological manipulation and mind control known in the history of the world.
People are being conditioned en masse to believe that their voice does not count for anything or that there is nothing that they can do about it anyway. We are moving swiftly towards a one world police state based on fear and paranoia. Whereas we should be progressing as a people in a new age of enlightenment, we are instead devolving in our society.
Our time has come to fight the grip of the machine. Hang on to our traditional ways of life. Aggressively promote humanistic character traits through programs of sports, non electronic music and arts. Limit the number of hours spent on electronic games and pastimes including television and internet. And finally focussing more energy on experiencing our memories as opposed to downloading our moments in time.
Wake up to that which is all around us. Open your eyes and your heart to the things that are really important to you. Free your mind from the negative thoughts that cloud your personal vision of success. Work diligently to fulfill your dreams and desires by targeting specific goals and seeing them through to completion. When something seems to be holding you back keep on persisting with your endeavours because whatever it is you choose to do in your life there will always be forces at work.
