The Machines

The machines are taking over

And I guess what's happening now
Is that rock is kind of dying out
And everyone is going back to the roots again
The new generation's music
Will be a synthesis of these two elements
And I can kind of envision
Maybe one person with a lot of machines
Tapes and electronic set-ups
And speaking and using machines
Like Jim said

The machines are taking over

Soon we'll be using liquid technology to communicate
Implanting music into our brains
And having virtual sex with anyone you like
Becoming stronger, becoming smarter
It's the status of the science
And soon humans become obsolete
It's not a matter of if, but when
Like Jim said

The machines are taking over

Cloning organisms at the cellular level
With silicon chips
But something about the soul can never be replaced
And everyone wants to go back to the roots again
But in the end have no fear
'Cause the spirit is something that the machines could never duplicate

The machines are taking over

Molecules of pushbutton transistors
Days of atom-powered rhythms
This mainstream madness
Rendering innovation obsolete
Quantum technologies hacking into your mind
Thirty-second video clips lacking in substance
Invisible to the
