Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Machines have no conscience
[Verse 2]
Uniform printout reads, "end of line"
Protect code intact, leaves little time
Erratic surveys, free thinking not allowed
My hands shake, my push buttons silence the outside crowd
[Verse 3]
One world government has outlawed war among our nations
Now social control requires population termination
[Verse 4]
Have we come too far to turn around?
Does emotion hold the key?
Is logic just a synonym for this savagery
Disguised in forgotten lost memory
[Verse 5]
Microchip logic, have we no more thoughts?
Is this wrong? I enter, answers sought
Punch, punch, punch, transfer this data into code
Wide eyes watch, my NM 156 is shown
[Verse 6]
Created from past life to perform illicit function
I fail this conscious madness, I man-machine imperfection
[Verse 7]
Have we come too far to turn around?
Does emotion hold the key?
Is logic just a synonym for this savagery
Disguised in forgotten lost memory
(This character doesn't exist)
[Verse 8]
Have we come too far to turn around?
Does emotion hold the key?
Is logic just a synonym for this savagery
Disguised in forgotten lost memory?
(Forgotten, forgotten, forgotten, forgotten, forgotten, forgotten)
(Forgotten, forgotten, forgotten, forgotten, forgotten, forgotten)
