You could get a robot limb for your blown-off limb

Later on the same technology could automate your gig, as awesome as it is

Wait, it gets awful: you could split a atom willy-nilly

If it’s energy that can be used for killing, then it will be

It’s not about a better knife, it’s chemistry and genocide

And medicine for tempering the heck in a projector light

Landmines, Agent Orange, leaded gas, cigarettes

Cameras in your favorite corners, plastic in the wilderness

We can not be trusted with the stuff that we come up with

The machinery could eat us, we just really love our buttons, um

Technology, focus on the other shit

3D-printed body parts, dehydrated onion dip

You can buy a Jet Ski from a cell phone on a jumbo jet

T-E-C-H-N-O-L-O-G-Y, it’s the ultimate

the subject matter of Aesop Rock’s latest album felt relevant to our instance’s interests

      goddamn

          Story of an encounter with a person during a home invasion by that person (and commentary on how badly it’s handled that side of the world)
