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.
