Obsolete

Fear Factory · Obsolete [1998]

Nothing is the way it seems

Discerning man from machines now

Dominate as to erase

Wiping man off Earth's face now

Defaced by all inept justice

Shamed by the mental abuses

Branded "inferior weakness"

Ordered to cease and to desist!



Man is obsolete!

Our world, obsolete!

Man is obsolete!

Erased, extinct!

Obsolete!



Fueling engines through deceit

To eradicate humanity

Defaced by all inept justice

Shamed by the mental abuses

Branded "inferior weakness"

Ordered to cease and to desist!



Man is obsolete!

Our world, obsolete!

Man is obsolete!

Erased, extinct!

Obsolete!
