The Rat Age Lyrics
I was conceived in a behavior station
Light years from civilization
I was born in oblivion
Half-Balinese, Half-Libyan
My father was a vector
My mother was a specter
As Earth men battled for their skins,
I come down with the aliens
Is this not the rat age?
The demented photo-stat age?
Where murderers loom
We've broken the genetic code
And left it bleeding by the road
Where murderers loom
You've changed your face, you've changed your scent
You've even changed your fingerprint
Image is anything
But with all this electricity you can't change your publicity
That lies the menacing
Down in the greed-plex under a spike of light
Stop at the slave port, enter the death resort
No stimulation, nothing but none of that
Resimulation, deep off but don't get caught
I dream to surf the rodeocean
Negotiate meaning with no emotion
If the kill is clean you've still got time
To hone evil on the tooth of crime
I'm sober on the grapes of wrath
While running down the psychopath
Is this not a cruel world?
Good morning, little schoolgirl
It's the rat age
Light years from civilization
I was born in oblivion
Half-Balinese, Half-Libyan
My father was a vector
My mother was a specter
As Earth men battled for their skins,
I come down with the aliens
The demented photo-stat age?
Where murderers loom
We've broken the genetic code
And left it bleeding by the road
Where murderers loom
You've changed your face, you've changed your scent
You've even changed your fingerprint
Image is anything
But with all this electricity you can't change your publicity
That lies the menacing
Stop at the slave port, enter the death resort
No stimulation, nothing but none of that
Resimulation, deep off but don't get caught
Negotiate meaning with no emotion
If the kill is clean you've still got time
To hone evil on the tooth of crime
While running down the psychopath
Is this not a cruel world?
Good morning, little schoolgirl
