Lyrics

When we were machines, electric currency
Efficient and adequate and so simple, so very simple
We were machines, faulty circuitry
Pull the plug, repair the bugs and cover it up

But, somewhere in this framework lies skinned up knees and broken wires
We all short out in due time
Things will never be the same again

When we were machines, sparkling and pristine
Invincible, untouchable and so easy, so very easy
We were machines, rusted obsolete
A number, a statistic, a string of ones and zeros

But, somewhere in this framework lies skinned up knees and broken wires
We all short out in due time
Things will never be the same again
Somewhere in this circuitry, fried out beyond all belief
We all die eventually
