  • We are not there yet
    We have not evolved
    We have no respect
    We have lost control
    We're going backwards
    Ignoring the realities
    Going backwards
    Are you counting all the casualties?

    We are not there yet
    Where we need to be
    We are still in debt
    To our insanities
    We're going backwards
    Turning back our history
    Going backwards
    Piling on the misery

    We can track it all with satellites
    See it all in plain sight
    Watch men die in real time
    But we have nothing inside
    We feel nothing inside

    We are not there yet
    We have lost our soul
    The course has been set
    We're digging our own hole
    We're going backwards
    Armed with new technology
    Going backwards
    To a caveman mentality

    We can emulate on consoles
    Killings we can control
    With senses that have been dulled
    Because there's nothing inside
    We feel nothing inside

    We feel nothing inside
    (We feel nothing, nothing inside)
    We feel nothing inside
    (We feel nothing, nothing inside)
    We feel nothing inside
    (We feel nothing, nothing inside)
    We feel nothing inside
    (We feel nothing, nothing inside)
    We feel nothing inside
    (We feel nothing, nothing inside)
    Because there's nothing inside
    Because there's nothing inside Writer/s: Martin Gore
