lyrics

Trapped inside of a cage of wires
Her circuits breaking all the time
Running on Duracell until she gets tired
And then she sees she is going blind

Her mind a terrible thing to waste
So intelligent that no man can comprehend her
Just make sure you don't get a taste
Or she'll frappe your mind inside a blender

Electro-techno, I don't understand
What makes you woman and what makes me man
I feel like a lesbian ready to break
You traded your organs for parts that are fake

Man made machine and machine made man
Who made who, it's hard to understand
Technology will be the downfall of man
Modernized coffins can be reused again

Computerized society eats us alive
Like a Silicon Valley modern suicide
Virtual sex breeds a mechanical device
Looks like a child but with a cheaper price

Version No. 4 isn't efficient anymore
Just bought it last week, but I gotta have more
Breast-feeding bottles nourish what we procreate
Let's revise our child before it's out-of-date

Nao vem que nao tem, motherfucker!

(In the words of Paul Cantor: “Forget about the government; television is already controlling our lives.”)
