You were the first in flight, now a modern relic Merely a payphone on a one A.M. sidewalk, We're all cast aside and we're antiquated Right as we start to finally figure out what we are. Look at you, so bright State of the art! You're new, you're young, Your blissful ignorance Is everything they like. But the years have teeth And sometimes they bite. Look at you, you're falling apart, Built to spill, you're state of the art Yeah, look at you... well look at you now! Now, do you see that "smile at the foot of the ladder"? Ain't it familiar? That was you only yesterday. But this justice feels more like a poison apple; And inevitably everyone'll bite into it, Look at you, so bright... State of the art! You're new, you're young, Your blissful ignorance Is everything they like. But the years have teeth And sometimes they bite. Look at you, you're falling apart. Built to spill, you're state of the art, Yeah, look at you... well look at you now! State of the art State of the art I'm falling...I'm falling apart... State of... the state of the art.
