about

This uppity pop track with retro tones of 70's rock focuses on James' reaction to having been the "star" of a reality television show.

lyrics

What a pleasure it is to have a meeting with you
Among the unequivocal few
Everybody needs you to quantify
Your word is the last, we know who teaches the class
You cite a quotation, but nobody believes you
Everybody needs you to classify

But how do you know what it is
When it comes so convincingly dressed to the 9's?
It's got a twinkling eye on the goal with a will to survive
It won't save you

Artificial Reality
Grace the world with your clarity
Persuade the world with your dignity

Competition is high when there's a limited supply
You mastered the game, but you're a link in the chain
and you might break a circuit and lose your connection
A collared imperfection

Waxing your words to be right
With a vengeance that beats like a drum in your mind
You say "It's gotta be black, or it's white!"
You're conditioned to fly. You're superior.

Artificial Reality
Grace the world with your clarity
Persuade the world with your dignity

Take my hand, together we'll brave new land
Guide my dusty sails - oceans away!
Step on board, we're headed North to the sun
Setting course for your future

Artificial Reality
Grace the world with your rarity
Persuade the world with fatality
Grace the world with your dignity
Persuade the world with duality
