Kinks - Artificial 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 cant believe its happeningI just want to stay the way that I am.I dont want to live a lie in an artificial world.Mr black: lets build an antiseptic world,Full of artificial people.Cure all diseases, conquer painAnd monitor the human brain,And see what thoughts youre 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,Were 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 dont want to live a lie in an artificial world.Mr black: tell the world that we finally did it,Made a man thats totally programmed,Preconditioned thoughts and emotions,Push-button artificial man.Did you ever want to live forever?Well heres your chance to be a total automatoncos weve improved on gods creationAn outdated homo sapien.Make you taller if you want itMake your hair grow longer if you need it.If it doesnt exist then I guess we can breed it.Therell be no disagreements,Well dedicate our lives to achievements,And organise your life and keep it totally planned.Flash: I can visualise the dayWhen the world will be controlled by artificial people,But I dont 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 mindUnder constant observationEven when youre dreaming.Replaced your nose, heart and lungs,So shake me with your artificial hand.We went and built a master raceTo live within our artificial world.
