Computerize God, it's the new religion
Program the brain, not the heartbeat

[Pre-Chorus]
Take a look at the toys around you

[Chorus]

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 5]
Deliver us to evil, deny us of our faith
Robotic hearts bleed poison
On the world we populate
Virtual existence with a superhuman mind
The ultimate creation, destroyer of mankind
Termination of our youth
For we do not compute
No
