Evolvement

F*ck It, It’s Only Thrash (1987), track 2 · Walt’s Sinking Boat Tape (1988), track 2

The one science-fiction song in the catalogue — a perfected master race that finds out what it’s actually made of. Recorded twice, in 1987 and again in 1988.

One dominate race ultimately supreme
Controlled living with no threat of war
Surgery left to robots — artificial intelligence
They conquer disease aging is no more

When the truth is revealed the masters are in question
Powerful now but what of the future
The inner self was lost for an eternal dream
The master race is still supreme

One of this race discovers the secret
His essence is not of creation
The shorn limb bears the discovery
Surgeons provided for immortality

Though I had never seen blood I had studied it so I expected it
Natural acceptance of myself is gone
A process revealed the surgeons had lied
Our flesh and bone has been denied

News of the happening spreads through and through
The entrance of insanity is now at hand
The people test for themselves
The truth is too much welcome to bedlam

When the truth is revealed the masters are in question
Powerful now but what of the future
The inner self was lost for an internal dream
Which leads to technologies benefit of reason…
