Twelfth Night – Take A Look lyrics

(Andy Sears)

Synthesised, programmed and synchronised
Detailed, computerised--no room for error
Specified, labelled and classified
Free mind has 'paralysed imagination'

Educate, break down and formulate
Dictate, Don't speculate, --Don't be a failure
Parasite,--Know, sense, think, read and write
Translating black and white, Hungry for logic...

Stand fast--
Take a look at yourself
In a moment realise
We are thinking today
Take a look, take a look
Take control of yourself
For a moment realise
We are thinking today
Today, today,--take a look!

Doters of the silicon
Enslaved by self-design
Dependant on the life-blood
And body of their sun
Each cry for understanding
Begins and ends at the grave--
From cradle to grave

Null and void emotion
Break free of this system
Opening eyes finding release
Each breath of inspiration
Begins and ends at the grave--
From cradle to grave

I'll find a key to lock the door
I won't let on that I'm afriad
Heaven,--Heaven I'm scared!

Take a look at yourself
In a moment realise
We are thinking today
Today, today
Take control of yourself
For a moment realise
You are thinking today
Today, today,--Take a look!

Synthesise, programme and synchronise
Detail, computerise your own damn/nation
Magnified these dreams you've kept inside--
Come alive!--your hand is bitten by your own creation

Take a look at yourself
In a moment realise
We are thinking today
Today, today
Take control of yourself
You're not a victim--
You're not anything
Only throwing away today, today--
Take a look!

I'm alive--
I breathe, I feel inside
Not just a toy
Not a fault you can overide
I want to be alone
If I could find a place to hide
Will you always be there
In every thought, every word
Oh you're so damn--

Clinical, useful and practical
Always fanatical,--controlled existence
Oh we may generate, design and integrate
But never,--we never simulate human reaction

Stand fast--
Take a look at yourself
In a moment realise
We are thinking today
Take a look, take a look
Take control of yourself
For a moment realise
We are thinking today
Today, Today--
Take a look
