Cérebro Eletrônico
Marisa Monte
Electronic Brain
The electronic brain does everything
Does almost everything
Does almost everything
But it is mute
The electronic brain commands
Orders and rules
It's the one who commands
But it doesn't walk
Only I can think
If God exists
Only I
Only I can cry
When I'm sad
Only I
Here with my own thoughts
Of flesh and bone
I speak and listen
I think and can
I can decide
If I live or die because
Because I am alive
Alive as a dog and I know
That no electronic brain gives me help
On my inevitable path to death
Because I am alive
I am very alive and I know
That death is our primitive impulse and I know
That no electronic brain gives me help
With its iron buttons and glass eyes
