Galahad - The Automaton lyrics

We put the fate of the human race in the hands of cold machines They have no perception of compa**ion or hat it would really mean If data caused the bu*tons to be pushed we'd all be blown away Self destruction is the 'in' cause for the human race.... Digital, digital, digital man, eroding our emotions Cynical, cynical, cynical man, his feelings disappear The Automaton Robot mentalities, attracting high positions I hope this does not rub off on the younger generation Awareness is more widespread than at any time before With media power very much to the fore Cynical, cynical, cynical man, when will he realise? Digital, digital, digital man, will never understand Sometimes technology advances Are not always desired Sometimes there comes a point When it all gets too cold Drained of all our instincts Our common senses are reeling Microchip revolution But someone left out the feeling I hope the higher echelons in science don't wrap Themselves in their own little galaxies of knowledge I hope that they maintain some semblance of their inner sanity Don't digitise too far, digital man will never understand Digital, digital, digital man, his conscience evaporates Cynical, cynical, cynical man, has sterilised his faith Digital, digital, digital man, when will he realise? Digital, clinical, cynical man, will never understand! Don't digitise too far
