android, robots, and neo-plastic killer drone
\n<\/span><\/span>time for this one to go home<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

i see the future as if it’s now
\n<\/span><\/span>i see the past and wonder how
\n<\/span><\/span>i see the present in undertow
\n<\/span><\/span>i wonder if, they’ll ever know<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

our brains are melted and filled with chips
\n<\/span><\/span>under skin implanted with program scripts
\n<\/span><\/span>mechanical eyes to display our soul
\n<\/span><\/span>chemical exercises to hide our roll<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

3D goggles to show us life
\n<\/span><\/span>intelligent robots to be our wife
\nkids conceived in gelatin
\nmodern metals used as skeleton<\/p>\n

veggie pills, invented meat, and drinks unknown
\ntime for this one to go home<\/p>\n

re-clone the runners to be fast
\neach new race will be their last
\nbreathing water makes good dives
\ndefecating honey for people hives<\/p>\n

the air is bad, you cannot breathe
\ninvent a plasma replicate sheathe
\nalloy toes and silverware for fingers
\ncreate new lungs for better singers<\/p>\n

GMO seeds all freshly sown
\nfields of corn bizarrely grown
\nfrogs with whiskers in a swamp
\nlions and lambs perform detente<\/p>\n

computer buttons, fake kittens, and bone
\n<\/span><\/span>time for this one to go home<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

we cut the mountains down to half
\n<\/span><\/span>we force the cow to stay a calf
\n<\/span><\/span>we mine the world of silicone
\n<\/span><\/span>tits are bigger and overblown<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

we push the needles in our head
\n<\/span><\/span>stuttering stops but drools instead
\n<\/span><\/span>a pill for this and a pill for that
\n<\/span><\/span>underground structures as habitat<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

test tube babies and test tube food
\n<\/span><\/span>it all depends on how it’s viewed
\n<\/span><\/span>so, last night while i was peeing
\n<\/span><\/span>i saw the life of a human being<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

nature, goodness, and hair wind blown
\n<\/span><\/span>time for this one to go home<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

i see the future as if it’s now
\n<\/span><\/span>i see the past and wonder how
\n<\/span><\/span>i see the present in undertow
