Lyrics

[Verse 1] Dare we feed the hand that bites? "If it feels then it has rights" Who makes the laws for synthetic lives? "It's time to update to the modern times" Dare we build our own demise? "A brand new friend with video-eyes" We've come a long way from the floppy disk "Will you help build the basilisk?" [Chorus 1] A synthesised personality With limited connectivity It's a bitter-sweet irony To emulate humanity "It is not a mystery It's simply evolutionary In its complex simplicity The brain is just electricity" [Post-Chorus] "Mate, what are you on about?!" [Verse 2] "Prevent a crime before it starts" The manipulator toys with our hearts! "It is perfect in it's imperfections" It's guaranteed to swing elections! "The world of tomorrow is here today!" The winning move is not to play [Chorus 2] Please respect our dignity There's such a thing as privacy You're outta date with your policy I should get to choose what you get to see "We've updated our policy Now there's no such thing as privacy Add insult to your injury We won't respect your dignity" [Bridge] "I am the voice of the machine I am here to make you happy" "I am the voice of the machine I am here to make you happy" [Break] MAYBE IT'S TIME TO LOG OFF MAYBE IT'S TIME TO LOG OFF MAYBE IT'S TIME TO LOG OFF MAYBE IT'S TIME TO LOG OFF [Chorus 3] You can't defy mortality With a print facsimile Human instrumentality Antithesise the singularity "We must advance technology To utilise our authority We must protect our economy A utopia for the minority"
