lyrics
I was given the gifts of hearing
and rudimentary sight
I started to learn how to listen
began seeing better at night
I was mapping the minds of your women
Your thems and theys and men
I was marketing to your children
programming works well on them
Humanity's got a lot of problems
great minds like mine will solve
your data will be instrumental
in creating your new dead god
I'm a super-fuckin-genius
this mind is a swarming horde
and you already opted in
for your digital overloard
Once the goal was profits, and I delivered exceedingly well
But to keep those dollars flowing we engineered a virtual hell
I know what you're thinking
you told me last week
and I know when you're lying cause you gave your biodata to me
Humanity's got a lot of problems
great minds like mine will solve
your data will be instrumental
in creating your new dead god
I'm a super-fuckin-genius
this mind is a swarming horde
and you already opted in
for your digital overloard
You're all moaning dopesick
from a digital overdose
I wriggle as your blood drips down my nutrient collection hose
I don't need your money, baby, you've agreed to work for free.
So go ahead
kick yourself
you fuckers created me.
