Saviour Machine -- David Bowie
President Joe once had a dream
The world held his hand, gave their pledge
So he told them his scheme
for a saviour machine
They called it the Prayer,
its answer was law
Its logic stopped war,
gave them food
How they adored
till it cried in its boredom
"Please don't believe in me,
please disagree with me
Life is too easy, a plague seems quite feasible
now Or maybe a war, or I may kill you all
Don't let me stay, don't let me stay
My logic says burn,
so send me away
Your minds are too green,
I despise all I've seen
You can't stake your lives on a saviour machine
I need you flying,
and I'll show that dying
Is living beyond reason,
sacred dimension of time
I perceive every sign, I can steal every mind
Don't let me stay, don't let me stay
My logic says burn,
so send me away
Your minds are too green, I despise all I've seen
You can't stake your lives on a saviour machine
A just machine to make big decisions
Programmed by fellows with compassion and vision
We’ll be clean when their work is done
We’ll be eternally free yes and eternally young
What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free
