Arriving on the scene Resequencing the gene Talking to the machine With a list of simple rules And a tidy bag of tools Who will save the helpless fools? Who will save them? Who will save them? The technician. As the only unit who is fit to, fit to The technician has identified the issue, issue The virus is in the soft tissue, tissue The technician! There’s a bump in the road There’s a bug in the code A system overload There’s a fly in the soup A redirection loop There’s a dupe within the group Who will save them, who will save them? The technician. The mechanical voice repeating warning, warning The broken beings all aborning, ‘borning This cannot wait until the morning, morning The technician! With a flinging of the dung And a twisting of the tongue The ladder skips a rung The clock has slipped a gear With the deadline drawing near Have no worries, know no fear Who will save us? WHO WILL SAVE US? The technician.
