The New Machine |
| Today I have declared myself to be a subject of the will of the people |
| Too long have my studies and research been for my own pleasures and distractions |
| Civilization needs the minds of its people |
| My first project will be the freeing of our underground workers |
| There is no reason why technology cannot be called on to meet this challenge |
| A machine. |
| A great machine. |
| I see it now |
| Creatures! |
| Seek your dignity! |
| Scrap metal and I shall fight, and you shall be the winner! |
| They lie about all through the day |
| Thinking that they should be paid |
| For all 'em knowing how to breed |
| Producing more for us to have to pay for their food, too |
| They’ll steal our daughters for their brides |
| Expecting more than life provides |
| A huge ungrateful straw stampede |
| Failure… failure… oh, my beautiful machine |
| My poor, poor beautiful machine |
| What have I done wrong? |
| Where have I failed you? |
| But give up? |
| Never! |
| Not as long as there are souls imprisoned in the dark life |
| Not as long as a whisper of life clings to my body |
| There will be freedom in the holes! |
| All will hail the new machine! |
| Yes! |
| Yes! |
| I think I’ve got it now |
| There, the spark leaps to live |
| The Golden Age quivers on the brink of creation |
| Live, live my machine! |
| Live my savior! |
| You have my breath, you have my dream, my dream |
