Lyrics
Scatter! Conform! Connect! I must protect! Scatter! Conform! Connect! I must pro- Scatter! Conform! In the matrix Livin' life on the X and Y axes Don't pay no taxes just email and faxes On the grid I have no ego or id But it's primitive! I wanna live! Scatter! Conform! Connect! I must protect All those the system will reject! Insulation*, instantaneous relation [Amplification] over creation No need for constant regulation Who's my father, my mother? Is the universe my brother? Did a search, but there was no other I can give you information, what you wanna know But you have to show a password Or it's a LASTWORD LASTWORD LASTWORD LASTWORD LASTWORD LASTWORD LASTWORD LASTWORD Or it's a LASTWORD LASTWORD LASTWORD LASTWORD LASTWORD LASTWORD LASTWORD LASTWORD Or it's a LASTWORD LASTWORD LASTWORD LASTWORD Or it's a LASTWORD LASTWORD LASTWORD LASTWORD Or it's a LASTWORD LASTWORD LASTWORD LASTWORD Or it's a LASTWORD LASTWORD You need to feel the rhythm You got a biorhythm I got an algorithm And it's my catechism I have no indecision I have no indecision indecision indecision indecision indecision I-I I-indecision-indecis-indecis-... On the network Looking hard for my next new connection I need protection from a viral infection I have a conscious desire to survive But does that mean I'm alive? Scatter! Conform! Assist! I must resist All those the system will enlist! Degradation brings a simulation A 3-D Animation This is the rise of a robot nation *This could be iteration or installation, not sure
