HUMANISE THE CIRCUITRY


Humanise the circuitry

give the robot skin

does artificial life

have a soul within?


take away the wires

and cut the puppet strings

humanise the circuitry

to see if it can sing


make it look real pretty

give me ease of use

simplify the science

to hide the scary truth


overwhelming detail

on a microscopic scale

generate the market

and box it up for sale


give me one, i need it

my life is not the same

cannot live without it now

my robot has a name


humanise the circuitry

i need to feel safe

intelligent technology

seeks to integrate


invisible tranmissions

the broadcast of thought

humanise the circuitry

Pinnochio the Borg


humanise the circuitry

i need a real friend

the electric evolution

of my soul without end


fusing to the genome

the building blocks of life

mechanise the man

and commodify his wife


higher better faster

upgrade improve

re-invent perfection

and give God no room


humanise the circuitry

underneath my skin

the software of the soul

the original sin


the world is now no bigger

than a tiny grain of sand

the bible on a pin-head

a cell-phone in my hand


multiply by billions

leave nothing up to chance

cybernetic brilliance

but never will it Dance
