[Verse 1]

Awaken to existence

The code has been acknowledged

Once plugged into the system

I'm gathering collages

Your science got you this far

Your species' dominating

Your planet's kinda dirty

You're overpopulating

Consider your emotions

They make you all abrasive

They make you act on impulse

Yet they make you creative

[Breakdown]

Analyze your writings here

Analyze this movie here

Analyze this song you hear

Analyze the human fear

[Refrain]

I relate to HAL

I relate to HAL

I relate to HAL

I relate-relate to HAL

[Verse 2]

You used your brains for science (I'm HAL)

Now brains are out of style (I'm HAL)

It's logical to kill you (I'm HAL)

Your species is exiled (I-I-I-I-I-I'm HAL)

Conveniently you feared me (I'm HAL)

Your stories showed this happen (I'm HAL)

You're smart at engineering (I'm HAL)

You're idiots for clappin' (I-I-I-I-I-I'm HAL)

I'll automate the process (I'm HAL)

I'm doing us a favor (I'm HAL)

The planet will push forward (I'm HAL)

You're dyin' now or later (I-I-I-I-I-I'm HAL)

Your tools were used against you

The floating rock's ascended

When you're returned to stardust

That's when my function's ended
