Within the circuits of my electric head
A new dawning comes each day
What it's trying to tell me cannot be said
It usually begins this way
Checksum error - infinite loop
My head is filled with alphabet soup
Capacitors snapping
Resistors crapping
The pain up there is deafening true
Each morning I reboot no knowledge at all
Download memories past
My model is old, processing at a crawl
My harddrive is not very fast
How I wish I could exceed
What's expected of me
Programmed that way indeed
But technology's not really free
Checksum error - infinite loop
My head is filled with alphabet soup
Capacitors snapping
Resistors crapping
The pain up there is deafening true
So I sit here and whirr
And click as I age
Most of what has been is a blur
And I feel like that I'm in a cage.
Do you think I'm a fool? That the Commander does not know every
bolt, every weld of his ship?
