A steampunk nation Baby pollution rises up then the loving comes arraigning 'causeOur art's official and only partially artificial And our heart's in the middle of sharp hardened shards of metal but There's not where it settles Because it's beating to the steaming of God's hottest pot or kettle And now we face it, this creation we made to To save our craving for a synthetic rebelnation it's Our safeway they make into a pathetic revelation In our steampunk nation Our steampunk nation .

About This Quote

The idea of steampunk is to create a society like the world of the Victorian era, "where steam-powered machinery ruled" and "people preferred charmingly elaborate devices that had been cobbled together from old parts and things to the convenience and efficiency of modern technology." The lyrics are describing a society where people are living by their own rules. They have no respect for the laws of the land, but they are doing it because it makes them happy.
