Lyrics
English: It's shocking to find that your mind like your behind gets a spanking in time / You've seen the bomb, Vietnam, LSD, you've seen the E? / You've seen DNA / Watch them go to the moon, live on TV / The electric spanking of war babies / Sock it to the circuit / In the digital we compute a perfect funk / The electric spanking of war babies
