“volatile factors”
writing down everything, it used to be in style
I got it on tape, I don’t waste the time awhile
all of my devices, well they’re falling apart
I’m number ten thousand for a new plastic heart
my ticket it’s waiting for me
I only need to buy it try it get lucky in the lottery
everybody is speaking in tongues
it’s the language of machines now for the young
volatile factors in the equation
complicate the situation
x could be you or me and we’re ready to explode
the program does not compute
the raw emotion of the soul
interface debrief emote your stuff
just can’t talk anymore it’s not enough
big is small flash is taking up the slack
macro turning micro right behind your back
little heads run the tiny microchips
no more cars just tinker toys that go blip
unisex in a shrinking world
no more boys no more girls
volatile factors in the equation
complicate the situation
x could be you or me and we’re ready to explode
the program does not compute
the raw emotion of the soul
whoever thought that this would pass
all I know is that none of it will last
software rolls on to wealth and prestige
while the forces of greed lay the people to siege
volatile factors in the equation
complicate the situation
x could be you or me and you’re ready to explode
the program does not compute
the raw emotion of the soul
