Artificial Man |
| 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 |
| Totally made by hand |
| 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| An outdated homo sapien |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 |
| And 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 |
