Ray Davies - Artificial Man lyrics

Scene: After his capture, Flash is taken to a secret hideout to have His brain cleansed, and his mind conditioned Flash, Mr. Black and the Mad Scientist sing: Flash: I can't believe it's happening I 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 pain And monitor the human brain And see what thoughts you're thinking Observe your feelings Secret fears Controlling everything you say and do And we will build a master race To live within our artificial world Tell it to the people all across the land We're going to build an artificial man With the physique of a Tarzan And the profile of a Cary Grant A superior being Totally made by hand Throw out imperfection Mould you section by section Gonna make you the ultimate creation Flash: I can visualise the day When 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-bu*ton 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 Well here's your chance to be a total automaton 'Cos we've improved on God's creation An outdated h*mo sapien Make you taller if you want it Make your hair grow longer if you need it If it doesn't exist then I guess we can breed it There'll be no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 Flash: I can visualise the day When 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 we finally did it And Mad Modified the population Scientist:Put your senses and your mind Under constant observation Even when you're dreaming Replaced your nose, heart and lungs So shake me with your artificial hand We went and built a master race To live within our artificial world
