Notes: Music is fast tecno. Lyrics are meant to be sung as sort of slow hip-hop, except the chorus,, which is whispered in pauses in the music. I may actually record this sometime and link to it, so you can see what I mean.

The human race would be so great

if only the world could keep up with it's pace

'cause right now we're such a disgrace

we embrace

prestige wars

with slaves working at the oars

sailing to distant shores

to set up whores

and alienation

and other products of civilization!

...believe in your barbaric nation...

"You all just searching for

mechanical redemption

you all just looking for

robotic salvation

to just pull the lever and press a button

and everything to be okay"

We have so many weapons of destruction

in the hands of rival factions

as a reaction

to our inaction

no democracy

just hipocrisy

and heresy

and you and me

comitting genocide

out of pride...

...on destruction... we thrive...

"You all just searching for

mechanical redemption

you all just looking for

robotic salvation

to just pull the lever and press a button

and everything to be okay"

I ask what you want

you want more

more money

sweet as honey

what we do for it, it ain't funny

we buy people

sell people

kill people

real people

real lives

not hives

but it don't matter if we don't hear the cries

only listen to more and more lies...

...let's just ignore all the goodbyes...

"You all just searching for

mechanical redemption

you all just looking for

robotic salvation

to just pull the lever and press a button

and everything to be okay"

You just keep on

living happily

with your family

until the day you wake up and rise

and realize

it's too late

there's too much hate

to avoid your fate

there's no salvation

no lever, no button

just mass destruction

in sudden action...

...and it's all just a reaction...

"You all just searching for

mechanical redemption

you all just looking for

robotic salvation

to just pull the lever and press a button

and everything to be okay"

"Everything'll be okay just

press the button

the red button"
