Lyrics:
Build me a future,
Splendid and graceful,
Make it better by design.

Perfected strategies,
Applied technologies,
A brighter future for a darker age.

Before me a vision,
Forged with great intentions,
Generations yet to come.

Aerodynamic dreams,
Across the stratosphere,
Foundation for tomorrow's way of life today.

Write a new-world symphony,
For the twenty-first century,
The dawning of the age to come.

Streamline simplicity,
The renaissance of humanity,
Avenues of light to guide us home.

Discard the old regimes,
Failed ideologies,
Draw the lines and start again.

Build towers that pierce the sky,
The figurehead of individual minds,
Horizons unlimited and unified.

Potential overdrive,
Free thought and open minds,
As if beams of photons live the night.

Electronic alchemists,
In the new metropolis,
Enlightened living through practicality.

Write a new-world symphony,
For the twenty-first century,
The dawning of the age to come.

Streamline simplicity,
The renaissance of humanity,
Avenues of light to guide us home.

Write a new-world symphony,
For the twenty-first century,
The dawning of the age to come.

Streamline simplicity,
The renaissance of humanity,
Avenues of light to guide us home.

Leave this world behind,
Retrofitted and redesigned,
The dawning of the age to come.

Streamline simplicity,
The renaissance of humanity,
Avenues of light to guide us home.

The info you have for this track is off a bit. It is the 6th track of Automatic, not the 5th. Other than that, it's all good.

@godsinventor

Nice catch. Good to know somebody reads any of that. I also had Goodbye 20th Century listed as 5th, but I also corrected that and made sure all the others were correct. Thanks.

The main reason I love VNV nation is for their lyrics, they don’t constantly go on about love and sex like most silly generic songs do these days they actually have meaning and drive to their lyrics that talk about where society is today and which direction we should be going in they talk the truth. This song really reminds me of the Zeitgeist documentaries I’ve watched and what directions we should be taking as a species as we really need to clean up our act.

amazing song, im so glad VNV and futurepop are not dead!

I've always loved VNV Nation's lyrics from the very beginning (yes I do own a copy of the original "Advance And Follow" album bought the day it was released - boy I feel old sometimes!) and still going strong! - I've been using excepts as part of my signature on countless forums and this song definitely makes the collection! - Powerful retro-futurism with wit, intelligence and razor-sharp irony... Just the way I like it!

whatever ppl say its so good

[lolzgym]

the only thing i miss about their "old sound" sometimes is that the vocals tend to be really try.. a little of the old reverb/space would have really rounded out the mix but still a great tune. they know what they're doing who the hell am i just some looser lol

VNV Nation at it's finest. Keep speaking to me...

[TuahShinguru]

This song has some odd dissonance that I don't particularly like, but I still can't help but love it!

[TehHumblePie]

hi it's acatually "Enlighten living through practicality."

[m4ilm4n]

Such powerful, positive and harmonic calls for (r)evolution.. VNV always fills me with hope.
