Mr. Strange - Metropolis 2984 lyrics

[Mr. Strange - Metropolis 2984 lyrics]

Work, earn, buy

Skyscrapers reach up to touch God
Monolithic machines scream steam
Plugged into group consciousness
Switched off,  they detest the flesh

Loudspeakers scream, Aaahhhhh!
Loudspeakers scream, Aaahhhhh!

Metropolis! Metropolis!
Metropolis! Metropolis!

Mechanical master-schemes
Erase the seeds of countless dreams
Metal arms reach up like cranes
All kneel before Mother Brain

The abyss of screams and steam
The Monolith, the all-seeing machine
With a flicker of life, resentment creeps
But eyes glaze as rhetoric repeats

Loudspeakers scream, Aaahhhhh!
Loudspeakers scream, Aaahhhhh!

Metropolis! Metropolis!
Metropolis! Metropolis!

All dreams forbidden all minds are written
Coded by machines perfect harmony

Work, earn, buy work, earn, buy, die

This is the city of endless night
No emotion in sight
This is the city of endless night
This is the tomb of a billion lights

The machine, it reigns mother Brain
