I hear you thinking I'm a thug Sentimental like a thug Well I lack the physique but yes sir It's a brutal try We dive for pearls in the drain And hold dying competitions Who can squirt blood furthest Into the mouths of our cannibal overlords? I want to tell you about what I want I want to tell you about what I want You think I'm ungenerous? Really? In what way? The more you give someone the More they want from you Rubbishing people is fun It's second to none in the joy that It brings to the self-righteous mind Awooo! That's my head on a string baby I want to tell you about what I want I want to tell you about what I want I want world peace Gentle socialismo, no machismo And the only god should be the god of LOVE I want a non-invasive kind of telepathy That lets you feel what it's Like to be somebody else Feel what it's like to be somebody else I want to tell you about what I want I want to tell you about what I want We're replacing ourselves with Artificial thought (boop boop b'doo) And that could be our legacy Before the feline dynasty Scampers over history Skiddly bop skiddly bop skiddly bop And the machines count up to heaven 24/7 but 8 billion zeroes Is still zero if you've got no heart
