we are time-travelers,

we send messages by ansible,

we are in a never-ending battle.

we play games in space stations,

we had/have no fear as children,

we are living in a technological fairy tale.

I am no scientist,

I am no physicist.

I don't want to uncover nature's secrets,

I want to uncover secrets with words.

well, sir, I am not a mathmatician.

I can't solve your puzzles,

I can't fix your robots,

I can't read your computer messages.

and if you can't do it either, sir, I'd get someone to do it for you.

"the best and the brightest

go into science."

that's the way I've heard it used to be.

if that's still thecase,

I'll find a way

(any way)

to get rid of

my intelligence.
