| 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 | |
| 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-button 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| An outdated homo sapien.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. | |
| & 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. |
