I'm back, I attack ya like an allery
nanotech infect ya like a malady
not concerned with the burdens of legality
freed from the reigns of morality
it's like fascism meets activism
it's like atom smashing meets cell division
it's like narcisism meets optimism
it's like white light refracting from a prism
got the biotic upgrades to my organism
levitate, demonstrate my magnetism
drum machine brain maintains the rhythm
drop beats within nanoseconds of precision
force fields sheild me
medigel can heal me
invisibility cloak conceals me
blast from my pulse rifle reveals me
biopunk - the future is now
cyberpunk - the future is now
steampunk - the future is now
cypherpunk - the future is now
digitized into the mind of the mainframe
gladiate for the fate of the mind game
destroy the core - MCP's the nickname
sentient evil was what it became
a flick of the wrist sends glowing discs
jai-alai (hi-lie) mits drop players to the pit
but quick wits and and some iron grit
keeps your bytes from becoming reduced to bits
so dust off your skills at playing atari
and you wont get killed on a digital safari
and I wont mind when they try to harm me
you might live a long time like the asari
so if you have the hacker wherewithal
it's time to negotiate the protocol
so rev your engines, swerve and drop walls
the higher they jump the harder they fall
alternate future, got news for you
charcoal powered computers too
time travel like Wells - no Delorean
brass fixtures, bookshelves - all victorian
steam powered cars - sky of zepplins
peddling whiz-bang contraptions - unsettling
villians scheme to rule the planet
heroes take to wings to catch the bandits
burocracy hits critical mass
as privacy becomes a thing of the past
components break - government conducts
routine searches to inspect your ducts
that's duct as in tape - and I hate to say
that what is at stake is everything you hate
taking over - obliterating the status quo
that's the way speculative fiction goes
