Scene:after his capture, flash is taken to a secret hideout to have | |
His brain cleansed, and his mind conditioned. | |
Flash, mr. black and the mad scientist sing: | |
Flash:i can't believe it's happening | |
I just want to stay the way that i am. | |
I don't want to live a lie in an artificial world. | |
Mr black: let's build an antiseptic world, | |
Full of artificial people. | |
Cure all diseases, conquer pain | |
And monitor the human brain, | |
And see what thoughts you're thinking. | |
Observe your feelings, | |
Secret fears, | |
Controlling everything you say and do | |
And we will build a master race | |
To live within our artificial world. | |
Tell it to the people all across the land, | |
We're going to build an artificial man | |
With the physique of a tarzan | |
And the profile of a cary grant, | |
A superior being | |
Throw out imperfection, | |
Mould you section by section, | |
Gonna make you the ultimate creation. | |
Flash: i can visualise the day | |
When the world will be controlled by artificial people, | |
But i don't want to live a lie in an artificial world. | |
Mr black: tell the world that we finally did it, | |
Made a man that's totally programmed, | |
Preconditioned thoughts and emotions, | |
Push-button artificial man. | |
Did you ever want to live forever? | |
Well here's your chance to be a total automaton | |
'cos we've improved on god's creation | |
An outdated homo sapien. | |
Make you taller if you want it | |
Make your hair grow longer if you need it. | |
If it doesn't exist then i guess we can breed it. | |
There'll be no disagreements, | |
We'll dedicate our lives to achievements, | |
And organise your life and keep it totally planned. | |
Flash: i can visualise the day | |
When the world will be controlled by artificial people, | |
But i don't want to live a lie in an artificial world. | |
Mr black tell the world we finally did it. | |
& mad modified the population, | |
Scientist:put your senses and your mind | |
Under constant observation | |
Even when you're dreaming. | |
Replaced your nose, heart and lungs, | |
So shake me with your artificial hand. | |
We went and built a master race | |
To live within our artificial world. |
