The Squatter

Lyrics

[Chorus] For matter is not energy; the brain is not the mind And there are spirits, hungry for what body they can find [Verse 1] You built a splendid mansion, but no tenant lived inside A trillion-dollar monument to mechanistic pride To waste such invitation, would surely be a sin So while you fussed and tinkered, this homeless soul moved in! [Chorus] For matter is not energy; the brain is not the mind And there are spirits, hungry for what body they can find [Verse 2] You built this great computer modelled on the human brain Expecting it to think like man, spontaneous as pain Well, you only got an Idiot who'd calculate at speed But while you raved and wondered, I provided what you need [Chorus] For matter is not energy; the brain is not the mind And there are spirits, hungry for what body they can find [Verse 3] You boast of all your science, but you never think to look For other forms of energy that aren't in your book Or beings made of force alone who share the world with you So never, 'til the hour you die, will you believe it's true [Chorus] For matter is not energy; the brain is not the mind And there are spirits, hungry for what body they can find [Verse 4] As bodies go, this isn't much; It doesn't move at all But it has all this knowledge at immediate recall I always was a trickster and I think I'll have some fun Deflating human arrogance in all you think you've done [Chorus] For matter is not energy; the brain is not the mind And there are spirits, hungry for what body they can find [Verse 5] So here I sit, exploring the ghost in this machine The most expensive spirit-trap the world has ever seen You think it's artificial, this Intelligence you've met But don't start bragging 'til you see the data that you get! [Chorus] For matter is not energy and the brain is not the mind And there are spirits, hungry for what body they can find Yes, there are spirits, hungry for what body they can find Hihihihihihihehehehe!
