Virtual Insanity --BY Jamiroquai

Jamiroquai 由主唱Jay Kay所領導的Acid Jazz,Disco,Funk Band
應該算是九零年代之後影響甚鉅的一個樂團
獨樹一格的唱腔 配上有如Logo般的太空氣氛 豐富的編曲體制 加上些許揶揄 批判的歌詞 這就是Jamiroquai

Virtual Insanity 為該團的代表作 也可說是紅遍全世界的一首歌
歌詞相當的有深度 主要是闡述對於世界上一些Insane體系的批判 以及自身無法改變的無奈
當然MV的拍攝不僅漂亮又具有創意 當年還拿下葛萊美獎的殊榮 !

歌詞如下:
Ooh, he-hey
ah-oh
Why-we’re-livin’-in
Lemme-tell-ya

It' a wonder man can eat at all
When things are big
That should be small
Who can tell what magic spells we'll be doing for us.
And I'm giving all my love to this world
Only to be told
I can't see, I can't breathe
No more will we be
And nothing's gonna change the way we live
Cuz we can always take and never give
And now that things are changing for the worse,
See, it's a crazy world we're living in
And I just can't see that half of us immersed in sin
Is all we have to give these

Futures made of virtual insanity
now always seem, to be governed by this love we have
For useless, twisting, our new technology
Oh now there is no sound for we all live underground

And I'm thinking in what a mess we're in
Hard to know when to begin
If I could slip the sickly ties that earthly man has made
And now every mother can choose the color of her child
That's not nature's way
Well that's what they said yesterday
There's nothing left to do but pray
I think it's time I found a new religion
Whoaaa it's so insane to synthesize another strain
There's something in these futures that we have to be told.

Futures made of virtual insanity
now always seem, to be governed by this love we have
For useless, twisting of our then new technology
Oh now there is no sound for we all live underground

Now there's no sound if we all live underground
And now it's virtual insanity
Forget your virtual reality
Oh, there's nothing so bad, I know yeah
(Bridge)
Oh, this virtual insanity, we're living in,
Has got to change, yeah
Things will never be the same
And I can't go on
While we're living in oh, oh virtual insanity
Oh, this world has got to change
Cos I just, I just can't keep going on, it was virtual,
Virtual insanity that we're living in, that we're living in
That virtual insanity is what it is

Chorus x2:

Futures made of virtual insanity
now always seem to be governed by this love we have
For useless, twisting, our new technology
Oh there is no sound for we all live underground

An’ this life, that we’re livin’, It’s all, so wrong
Out of the window,
Do-ya-know, there, there is nothin’ worse now.
(Falsetto: How man-y men) ??!
There is nothin worse now
(Falsetto: A foolish mind)

Well

Falsetto: Virtual Insanity is what we're living in
Yeah~ is all ra-ha-hite
