Lyrics

Kasparov's Defeat

Kasparov's Defeat

turned the tables round

the king has lost his fleet

our hopes are dashed aground

in the back of my mind

we have failed to learn

the verdicts been returned

Obsolete. Build the cruel machine.

We have lost our faith in human beings.

Obsolete. Build the cruel machine.

We have lost our faith in human beings.

Your song keeps cutting in

when I'm tired of science fiction

I'm at the margins end

Just another flaw

in this failed armour

I'm bored and powerful

whose powerful?

here comes the crash

there go the lights

where have all the bright ideas gone? (2X)

February made a monster

man defeated man

we know where we stand

how shall we stand?

Obsolete. Build the cruel machine.

We have lost our faith in human beings.

Obsolete. Build the cruel machine.

We have lost our faith in human beings.
