lyrics

oh, isn't it amazing? that monkey's got no brain
that one just runs in circles, and that one's so well trained
and see that little girl, the one with nothing in her eyes
the nurse makes a notation in the chart each time she cries

a cold steel embrace
the silence of the grave
torturing another
just to learn how we behave

now open the door, take a look at the rest
every last humiliation, every battery of tests
every atom split to sanctify the temples of your will
while the old gods lie in ruin and the monkeys suffer still

innocence lost forever, a cold steel embrace
pleas for reason fade away in the silence of the grave
advance the cause of humanity by torturing another
is it worth the price we pay just to learn how we behave?

follow the wires back from the monkey's head
to the robot arm it uses to please its captors,
as the worker uses her sweat to please the manager
but who is watching from the other side of the glass?
God? Harry Harlow? Josef Mengele?
if we can bridge the gap of nature
we can recreate reality in our own image
but are our minds so infallible, is our vision so pure?
it's just the smallest step from this side of the glass to that
animals and humans lie side by side on the altar
they've got us trained, they've inserted their machines into every aspect of our lives
we're already the ones in the experiment
exploit the weak, the worker, doglike as he is
rape the woman, whose needs mean nothing and whose body is your crucible
THIS IS THE MESSAGE!
by allowing the torture of animals we've opened the door to
degradation, dehumanization, boredom, boredom, boredom, boredom

but now the wires are in our heads
and they're plugged into our brains
it's not for science or manufacture
it's to drive us totally insane
just an alternating current
that's all we really are
flip the switch to negative
now we're the robot arm!
