The Veldt – English Lyrics

• By: deadmau5 feat. Chris James

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Happy life, with the machines

Scattered around the room

Look what they made, they made it for me

Happy technology

Outside, the lions roam

Feeding on remains

We'll never leave, look at us now

So in love with the way we are

Here, the world that the children made

The world that the children made

Every night, they rock us to sleep

Digital family

Is it real, or is it a dream?

Can you believe in machines?

Outside, the beating sun

Can you hear the screams?

We'll never leave, look at us now

So in love with the way we are

Here, the world that the children made

The world that the children made

Here, the world that the children made

Here, the world that the children made

Here, the world that the children made

Here, the world that the children made

The world that the children made
