Lyrics:
i am a creature in a post-gender world
i don’t identify with nature
i am completely without innocence
i am the ill ill illegitimate daughter
Of State socialism
Rampant militarism
Patriarchal capitalism
(she screams) Radical feminism !
I no longer stir the pot and guard the hearth
to exploit and dominate me is gonna be hard
I need no Garden of Eden so don’t even try
To take my rib and make a man for me slash i
i am the ille ille illegitimate daughter
Of State socialism
Rampant militarism
Patriarchal capitalism
(she screams) Radical feminism !
Ism ism ism ism
I won’t return to earth dust
I will return to stardust if I must
Aluminium
silicon
copper
lithium
My components recycled into stardust
I strike fear into the circuits of power
I build and destroy
Machines
Identities
Categories
Relationships
Space stories
And though both are bound in the spiral dance
I’d rather be a cyborg than a goddess
I’d rather be a cyborg than a goddess
I’d rather be a cyborg than a goddess
