Even 100 years ago people were lamenting about how everything had turned fake:

Oh love oh love of loveless love, has set our hearts on goldless gold, from milkless milk to silkless silk we're growing used to soulless souls

Such grafting times we never saw, that's why they passed the Pure Food Law, in everything we find a flaw even love oh love oh loveless love

We S.O.S. on wireless wire and in the wreckage of desire, we sigh for wings like Noah's Dove just to fly away from loveless love

Don't drive a stranger from your door, don't drive a stranger from your door, don't drive a stranger from your door you're bound to reap just what you sow

This recording is around 85 years old but the song was written over 100 years ago. I wonder how they would feel in today's world?
