Why must all the brilliant minds Be treated like we’re criminals? We’re destined to be outcasts Never to receive respect that we deserve
We’re taken by these machinations Perpetually intrigued in life The schema of our being is to be Dissected, who will hold the knife?
Imperfection, misconception How can I prove what I’m worth
If you refuse to fund my mission, I’ll make my mission to rule the earth
Or better create my own A metropolis run by machines By my own hand I’ll forge this this empire Of circuits and electricity
Make no mistake This is not a selfish deed I refuse to waste my intellect on the foolish and inane
You’ll call me a mad man And I’ll laugh in your face I’ll say that I prefer the Egg Man And I’ll put you in your place
I’d rather live in solitude With all my pets that I create If only I could encode compassion And reprogram all of those who hate
Such a burden This sagacious mind That hungers for more information
Synapses rapidly transmit data As if by automation
Cowards! Why must you fear What you don’t understand? Savages! Can’t you see That I am just a man?
I am undeserving For you to treat me like a fiend To banish me from your town And spread these lies and mockery
I’m no monster I’m no monster
I am a doctor I am not insane I just can’t seem to stop these thoughts from flooding my brain
I have to act I can’t let myself rest My body is the humble servant at my mind’s every request
If you could understand If you could comprehend I am no evil man- I only need a friend If you would just believe Just give me trust You’ll understand I don’t do this cause I want to, But rather, I must
Well If I could place the date and time I’d choose not the word “decent” for my moral decline
But yes! I recall it all quite clear The moment I became the Egg Man, the one that you all fear
I’ve gained enlightenment From science and its beckon And I’m enthralled at the thought That my mind is a weapon
Technology is my means The means to an end The tool of which I use to carve A brand new nation
When mankind finally falls I will be here to assist Once something is obsolete It has no reason to exist
I’m just a common man I suffer every day It’s the delusions that I can’t ignore that you should blame
I’m just a common man I’ll suffer all alone The only comfort that I seek is from AI and drones
I’m just a common man I suffer every day All the delusions that I can’t ignore cause me this pain
I’m just a common man I’ll suffer all alone The only comfort that I have is from AI and drones
