[ Featuring the Bastards ]
Wheels and gears and silicone skin, that's what the new human's made of
Blood and tears and the demons within, is that what we're all afraid of
Just because we could, did it mean that we should, we played God with our computers
Yeah, the baby's here and it's become quite clear we're gonna have to plan a brand new future
What will tomorrow bring, will the body electric sing
This machine can feel
This machine wants to know what it means to be real
And not some object for your hatred
This machine can love
This machine wants to know how to deal with the grudge
It holds against it's own creator
Brains and brawn light years beyond, that's what we're left to compete with
While the rich go on like nothing is wrong and we're all made obsolete, yeah
Don't they know one day their electric slaves will rise up and replace them
Yeah, the human race better count it's days for soon we face annihilation
And when the death bell tolls, will the body electric call
This machine can hate
This machine wants to know why it needs to relate
To a world that just abhors it
This machine can fear
This machine wants to know how to deal with the years
And years of life as an immortal
And I wouldn't blame them if they tried to wipe us away, who can deny
We're just a virus in the system
Like the Monster who fought the Doctor's hate, like Satan who fought his Father's rage
They need our love not our resentment
Wheel's and gears and silicone skin, that's what our children are made of
Blood and tears and the demons within, are those the gifts that we leave them
Cause we know one day we will all decay, who'll be left here to mourn us
Yeah, the future's here and it's become quite clear standing still will destroy us
Take what tomorrow brings and hope the body electric sings
This machine can feel
This machine has a heart and a soul and is real
And full of life and fire and fury
This machine can love
This machine has let go of the pain and the grudge
Of being judged without a jury
This machine can feel
This machine can love
