Consider The Thief - Between Man And Machine lyrics
rate meI'll self-destruct<br />
With and entity in me that<br />
Fails and corrupts.<br />
Like cryptic codes and cancer I'll<br />
Cauterize, so I can trade flesh and blood<br />
For a skin that can't be pierced by spite<br />
Or oil that can't run cold with pride.<br />
In time, we'll all have to trade our veins for<br />
Oil lines and fuel-efficient hearts.<br />
But even in cast iron forms we start<br />
To idle, gather rust, and fall apart.<br />
So let's manufacture man, <br />
Who won't set fire of fail to take commands.<br />
Let's build.<br />
For what we need is caught in between man and machine.<br />
In time, we'll all have to trade our veins for<br />
Oil lines and fuel-efficient hearts.<br />
(But even in cast iron forms we start<br />
To idle, gather rust, and fall apart.<br />
Yet, through all the rust and the wreck, you see<br />
Men you won't trade for a world of machines.)
