the typicals to which we yield
but who hold you in their arms
tell me if it's time to kneel
to the only ones it harms
the fight against nature is still raging every day
it's only when we sleep at night that we can make them pay
I hope we win it all
yes I hope we win it all

the adherent to the ways of old
still stuck in evolution
leaves itself out in the cold
for fear of retribution
from a god who built this clockwork
and expects it to run down
before it comes into its own
finally screaming its own sound

any chemical or fantasy that I think will improve
my life or usefulness is something that I need
I can't wait for us to look like that
or be like that
or think like that
or seem like that
or feel like that
or dream like that
or sing like that
or care like that
or build like that
I empathize with everyone
that has ever lived
one second more than I

any procedure or enhancement that I think will make me better
my eye a little clearer or my blood a little redder
we lost innocence at sentience
there's no reason to keep hiding
so jump right down that slippery slope
down which they think we're sliding

I like you just the way you're going to become
be not ashamed of the ideas still clinging to your tongue
if you don't like the shit you hide
then it's no more a part of you
a reversible analogy
for making dreams come true
if this is how we win it all
how do we win at all

but they like you just the way they'd like you to become
the official way that people look the father and the son
no room for visionaries
a different height to look up to
it's hard to do just what you say
when what you say is be like you

so augment me till I'm something no one's ever seen before
and titillate with sights and give me feelings to adore
why do we think the way we are
is the only way to be
a constant struggle with myself
to embrace a better me

and the fight against nature is what gives the world its meaning
it's not until we're woken up you realize I was dreaming
that we were named after heaven after all
yes we were named after heaven after all
no we were named after heaven after all
no we named heaven
