glaring neon glow illuminates this street 
Breathe in these human vapors, sweat and heavy heat 
Hi-tech cathedrals rise and fall in great ravines 
Colossal steeples to the gods in the machines 

Broken body built anew 
Spirit lingers, torn in two 
Metal fingers grip my heart so cold 

Fossil fuels to slavery 
Political duplicity 
Every [bad word] s been sold 

Slave to the new black gold, there's a heartbeat under my skin 
Search my electric soul for the hidden man within 

Your secret science conquers nature's [bad word] laws 
But inside your wires lie a million mortal flaws 
Electric sleep I dream inside my [bad word] 
I stay alive inside my hive of skin and chrome 

Broken body built anew 
Spirit lingers, torn in two 
Metal fingers grip my heart so cold 

Fossil fuels to slavery 
Political duplicity 
Every [bad word] s been sold 

Slave to the new black gold, there's a heartbeat under my skin 
Search my electric soul for the hidden man within 
Slave to the new black gold, there's a heartbeat under my skin 

Broken body built anew 
Spirit lingers torn in two...
