Lyrics

I've got nothing to say
I've got nothing to do
All of my neurons are functioning smoothly
Yet still I'm a cyborg just like you
I'm one big myoma that thinks
The planet supports only me
I've got this one problem:
Will I live forever?
I've got just a short time to see
Modern man, evolutionary betrayer
Modern man, ecosystem destroyer
Modern man, destroy yourself in shame
Modern man, pathetic example of
Earth's organic heritage

When I look back and think
When I ponder and ask "why?"
I see my ancestors spend with careless abandon
Assuming eternal supply, modern man...

Just a sample of carbon-based wastage
Just a fucking tragic epic of you and i
