[Luka Megurine V2 + Chipspeech Original] Blame It On Technology [Explicit Lyrics]
Channel: Chiploider
Date: 2021-04-16

Okay getting this out of the way right now, when I say "Explicit Lyrics" I mean "Exactly One Non-Sexual F-Word", I figured I should put a warning though because I know a lot of people don't really like when you do that with Vocaloid and because there are probably kids on Vocaloidtube (I know Amino communities tend to skew kinda young and I was looking up songs at least as far back as when I was 11-12).

But anyway, about the song. While it is technically an original in that I wrote, composed, and produced it myself, it's actually a couple years old and has existed in limbo as an instrumental track for a while. (The original can be heard here: https://ansr-music.bandcamp.com/track/blame-it-on-technology-wma-main-theme ) It was composed as an intro theme for a cyberpunk visual novel that still has not been made (haha), and it always had lyrics but I didn't have the software and resources to really do vocals on it until now. (I'm not exactly much of a singer myself.) As a theme for the VN, it's mostly from the perspective of one of the major characters, but is also generally about how the older generation and those in major positions of power are causing corruption in society but choose to shift the blame to The Younger Generation Who's Always On Their Dang Phones.

LYRICS (also here in the description for accessibility purposes)

Oh
Where did we go so wrong
I think it started 
around 1990
Since then
We’ve been moving along
Building it up
And rejecting our humanity


And we still go lower
As we build it higher
(x2)


Our lives have been becoming so much easier
we forgot what it was like before
Trust me when I say that I long for the old days
But that safety is not here anymore


Our world has been declining more every year
Descending into chaos, building up our fears
We’re doing all we can but I can guarantee
no one will claim responsibility
For all the world’s horrors and anarchy
so we blame it on technology


Oh
How could this happen to me?
I’ve worked so hard
Now it all feels worthless
Losing
That sacred technology
I wish it was just
A glitch in the system

But I get knocked lower
As they climb up higher
(x2)

Their lives have been becoming so much easier
They say no one has to work anymore
Deep down I still think that they should owe it to me
But I’m glad I can’t take the blame for war



My world crumbles around me more as I speak
They tell me I’m inhuman, at least I’m not weak
We’re being disconnected from reality
They say that it’s my fault, and I’ve unlocked the key
To all the world’s horrors and anarchy
Fuck, I’ll blame it on technology

But now we can send messages across the world
Potentially undoing all the bad unfurled
Anyone could start a revolution ideally
and even the oppressed can speak freely
And we owe it to technology
