Kinks - Artifical Man Lyrics
Scene: After his capture, Flash is taken to a secret hideout to havehis brain cleansed, and his mind conditioned.Flash, Mr. Black and the Mad Scientist sing:Flash: I can't believe it's happeningI 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 painAnd monitor the human brain,And see what thoughts you're thinking.Observe your feelings,Secret fears,Controlling everything you say and doAnd we will build a master raceTo live within our artificial world.Tell it to the people all across the land,We're going to build an artificial manWith the physique of a TarzanAnd the profile of a Cary Grant,A superior beingTotally made by hand.Throw out imperfection,Mould you section by section,Gonna make you the ultimate creation.Flash: I can visualise the dayWhen 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you ever want to live forever?Well here's your chance to be a total automaton'Cos we've improved on God's creationAn outdated homo sapien.Make you taller if you want itMake your hair grow longer if you need it.If it doesn't exist then I guess we can breed it.There'll be no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.Flas
