Joy, the Mechanical Boy Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Wired up to the system is the father
Plugging in, cueing up, making digital whoopie
Never before in the history of all
Has organic and mechanic come together so sweetly
Now computing in italics and write-protected
Reading out, "It's a boy," she's faxing and having a baby
The father stumbles to the ground, gasps for air but makes no sound
Dies thinking it was impossible
[Chorus]
Half machine and half of me
Wonder what he'll grow to be
The boy don't dig no jazz 'cause he's Joy
[Verse 2]
Hiding out, underground, raving in techno fashion
Always out all night 'cause robots don't sleep
Embraced by all of the freaks calling him the Terminator
He gave them piercings for free
Part of the scene, a wirey structure
Only problem seems, he has no culture
Dead stereo panned, Joy's mechanical pride
Vacuum tubes and VCRs make Jill the mechanical bride
[Chorus]
Look inside his Motorola mind
Know there's nothing interesting to find
The boy don't dig no jazz 'cause he's Joy
The boy don't dig no jazz 'cause he's Joy
[Verse 3]
No sense of smell, no change in mood
No sense of taste, Joy, he don't need food
He can't be stopped, immune to the digital cancer
No sense at all, Joy, the new romancer
[Chorus]
Look inside his Motorola mind
Know there's nothing interesting to find
The boy don't dig no jazz 'cause he's Joy
The boy don't dig no jazz 'cause he's Joy
The boy don't dig no jazz 'cause he's Joy
The boy don't dig no jazz 'cause he's Joy
'Cause he's Joy
'Cause he's Joy
The boy don't dig no jazz 'cause he's Joy
'Cause he's Joy
'Cause he's Joy

“…it’s not REALLY about people taking ecstasy. That song is more just about a guy and a robot having sex and having a child that is a rave kid, you know. I really don’t know what the fuck it’s about, you know what I’m saying? It’s just about the whole rave scene and techno scene and how everything i...
