lyrics

Designed by science
and raised by wolves
Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should
They gained the knowledge
they made the tools
And it would be a shame for us to not put them to use
Da-da-da- Data!
As long as we can use it
where we find it doesn't matter
Da-da-da- Data!
As long as we can use it
how we get it doesn't matter
Rocket scientist number one
we're on the hunt for...
But once you get it
you cannot give it back
It's yours forever
Whether you want it or not
We know they're evil
We know they're A-holes
But we could use their know-how so let's put them on the payrolls
Despite what happens
we won't regret this
As far as we're concerned it's technology over ethics
Da-da-da- Data!
As long as we can use it
where we find it doesn't matter
Da-da-da- Data!
As long as we can use it
how we get it doesn't matter
Rocket scientist number one
We're on the hunt for...

I love this. I don't personally care about lyrics - but these are too sharp to ignore. I do enjoy vocals - and these are refreshing. What I really love is overall writing with some punch, mania, sass, off-time, and intellect. This has it all. Llettingo

This album is TIGHT! When I first heard the single, "Wichita" I was stunned... Scrunchies uses the influences of so many "genres" past and still comes out with something fresh and original! Wesley Meier
