It started as a trend, a good intent for happiness
A pill for every problem, a TV set to take our minds off of it
And no one sees a need for the thinker or the poet
All we really want is to charge it and own it, to reap and not sow it
Is this the end of the Renaissance?
Apathetic, disenchanted
Is this the end of the Renaissance?
Gonna take it all for granted
Remember when we planted, discovered with a passion
Remember when we used our hands, ran with reckless abandon
But when every single thing is just one click away
No one seems to have a new thought to portray, a new song to play
Is this the end of the Renaissance?
Instant gratification
Is this the end of the Renaissance?
Of a superficial nation
I am not a profit, a poet or a priest
I am just a girl who remembers real things
Is this the end of the Renaissance?
Is this the end of the Renaissance?
