The Appliance Of Science
Robbie Williams · Other Songs - Robbie Williams
But leave your nervous system
With the bouncer on the door
Sell your innocence
For a decade of decadence
Everything all at once all the time is yours
Don't believe in Jesus Christ
Since I believed in your cocaine
All that praying and wailing will leave a stain
So take your Sunday songs and shove it
Hey now, my baby, maybe now we're free
With the appliance of science
We can be anyone we want to be
They'll come bearing you
And charge the earth for it
If you're lucky they'll let you breathe
So scream as you go faster
If that's the world you're after
But make sure you're home for tea
Don't believe in clever people
Clever people drop the bomb
Don't believe your big and evil, they're aliens
So take your rocket science and shove it
Hey now, my baby, maybe now we're free
With the appliance of science
we can be anyone we want to be
[spoken]
"We interrupt this song for a newsflash
Daisy, the first sheep to be cloned
Has died today at the rivaled age of 101... days
Other news:
Two people burned to death whilst they were on the internet
And now to the sport"
Hey now, my baby, maybe now were free
With the appliance of science
We can be anyone we want to be
Hey now, my baby, maybe now were free
With the appliance of science
We can be anyone we want to be
Hey now, my baby, maybe now were free
With the appliance of science
We can be anyone we want to be
The Appliance Of Science
Robbie Williams delivers a sharp, satirical commentary on the commodification of knowledge in 'The Appliance Of Science.' The track exemplifies his signature blend of pop sensibility and biting social critique, utilizing a driving rhythm to underscore the absurdity of treating intellectual pursuits as mere tools for consumption. Released as a standalone recording, the song stands as a distinct song in Williams' discography, reflecting his ongoing commitment to addressing contemporary issues through accessible music. By framing science as an 'appliance,' the song critiques the reduction of complex fields to simple, marketable outputs, a theme that resonates with listeners who appreciate Williams' ability to merge catchy melodies with profound, often cynical, observations on modern society.
