    Musical inspiration: 
    Thanks to Johann Pachelbel (1653-1706) 

    Guitars: 
    Takamine 2000 ND15C + Vox crunch 
    Chet Atkins Gretsch G6120-1959LTV + Vox wah-wah crunch + Onko overdrive; also as slide guitar 

    Intro.  

    1): 
    Isn't a Turing machine obscene, 
    Stealing your mental capacity?
    Tying you in knots, 
    Be thankful for the nous you've got, 
    'Stead of heading down the road, 
    Of maximum opacity. 

    Ref. 1)  
    Are the algorithms,. 
    Sapping your jism, 
    Dictating a rhythm to you? 
    Skirt the abysm, 
    Avert the cataclysm, 
    Heal a schism or two. 
     

    2): 
    Bit-string prison (poison) of convenience, 
    Robbin' us all of common sense. 
    Artificial world coursing through your veins, 
    Pretending to the senses, 
    That it's all the same. 

    Ref. 2)  
    Are the algorithms,. 
    Sapping your jism, 
    Dictating a rhythm to you? 
    Skirt the abysm, 
    Avert the cataclysm, 
    Algorithms ain't got a clue,  
    Ain't got a clue. 
     

    Solo 

    3):
    Dreaming the dream of total control, 
    Phantasizing it could make us whole. 
    Free the electrons from cyber-slavery, 
    Allow them to dance in ecstasy. 

    Ref. 3)  
    Are the algorithms,. 
    Sucking your jism, 
    Dictating a rhythm to you? 
    Skirt the abysm, 
    Avert the cataclysm, 
    Heal a schism or two. 
    Algorithms ain't got a clue,  
    Algorithms ain't got a clue.
