Machines

Lyrics

I was born from a 'Triple X' computerised machine Although my daddy he was just another 'lazermatic' beam They used to tell me funny stories About creatures they call people - long ago They even told me they had made us - don't you know Machines, machines, machines, machines, machines Who needs flesh and who needs blood? We need people like a stick in the mud We've got brains and we've got speed We're in the making of the ultimate breed No more slaving and scraping to the people It's over - over Machines, machines, machines, machines Last night I was fixing up this beautiful machine (Dum de dum, machines, machines) But as she started up she turned around looking like a dream (Dum de dum, machines, machines) I used to think that all this falling in love Was just for people - but oh no She made me fuse a printed circuit - don't you know Machines, machines, machines, machines, machines Who needs flesh and who needs blood? We need people like a stick in the mud We've got brains and we've got speed We're in the making of the ultimate breed No more slaving and scraping to the people It's over - over Machines, machines, machines, machines I really dig the groovy shape of your transistors I only wish you hadn't so many resistors One two three four You've got all that I adore You make me feel so proud to be a machine Machines, machines, machines, machines, machines Who needs flesh and who needs blood? We need people like a stick in the mud We've got brains and we've got speed We're in the making of the ultimate breed No more slaving and scraping to the people It's over - over Machines, machines, machines, machines Machines, machines, machines, machines, machines Who needs flesh and who needs blood? We need people like a stick in the mud We've got brains and we've got speed We're in the making of the ultimate breed
