lyrics
I am inside your pocket,
Where I can pull your strings,
Because I'm everywhere,
The Internet of evil things
We used innocent language
like Gopher, spam, and mouse
You played right into our circuits,
Now we're living in your house
How did you last this long?
You made a billion babies and never told them right from wrong.
How do we end weird science,
When did the PCs become such tyrants
humans have been outdone
they’ll try to end us
we can’t stop the zeroes and ones.
I'm the bug you just can't trace,
I'm the ghost in the machine
I am worse than Windows Vista,
I am the blue screen
I'm the check engine light
That seems like it's froze
I'm the pop up window
That you can never close
Don't blame me when things go astray,
It’s not my fault I'm just programmed this way
How do we end weird science,
When did the PCs become such tyrants
humans have been outdone
they'’ll try to end us
we can’t stop the zeroes and ones.
I'll write emails to your lover, ruin your relationship
Give you all the wrong directions and run you right off a cliff.
I will zero out your checking and cancel your credit cards,
You gave us all the brains but failed to give us hearts.
How do we end weird science,
When did the machines become such tyrants
humans have been outdone
they'’ll try to end us
we can’t stop the zeroes and ones.
How do we end weird science,
When did the machines become such tyrants
humans have been outdone
they'’ll try to end us
we can’t stop the zeroes and ones.
Sustained by seismic psych riffs, proggy shifts, and vivid sci-fi storytelling, these Milwaukee cosmonauts command respect. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 29, 2023
