Technocricide Lyrics - Steel Prophet

[Various Cover Tunes] 

Seeking to amplify 

Power in all senses 

Man creates devices 

That change relations of his world 

In changing he fails to see 

He's now become 

A slave to devices 

Who's charm he's succumbed 

His bias altered now 

From sense to sense 

Sound or vision tested which reigns as best 

And so he fails the test of unity 

Integration of the whole creates awareness he shall see 

Oh things that we've made, changing our lives 

We've come so far, electric light 

Measure the day, lengthen the night 

We can make our war, without fight 

In alphabet we've shifted sound to words we see 

No more the sound of voices has effect on literacy 

Our weapons are extensions of our nails and teeth 

Are amplifiers of the rage that seethes 

The photo makes museum obsolete 

For treasures are now exposed 

For all to view in complete 

The phone has shrunk our world 

Down to village size 

To talk the neighbors 

Who just don't see our eyes 

We rule nature 

A fragmented whole 

Enlisted science, to take control 

But where's our future 

What lies in our hands 

A technocracy, or integrated whole 

Can we arrange a world 

That's filled with harmony 

Eliminate pollution 

And keep our people free 

Must life be calibrated 

By technocontrol 

Can freedom be maintained 

By thinking of the whole 

Our patriots will vanish 

Like ghosts of the night 

Unite the world as one 

Will be our holy fight!
