eliquate - ray bradbury lyrics

the skeleton sits in a chair fully clothed
as the tv switches through pre-recorded shows
the lights begin to turn on slowly as the sun sets
the auto setting, fade to night, that has yet to be upset
the toilet’s auto setting flushes roughly every 3 days
to keep the pipes from rusting
while maintaining a neat sp-ce
not one dish in the automatic sink
this whole house was planned out so no one had to think about
the fact that living was inefficient
nary an instinct was needed
just proceeded to take care of the thin link
between man and machine
all just programming
vacancy was not noticed
by no one
and the whole d-mn thing just kept right on
as if humans never happened
essence of efficiency fully automatic
the dust bots make sure the floor stays reflective
the doors auto lock made sure nothing was protected
just outside the motion tracking camera
focused on a shadowy, gaunt looking animal
by nature of its still beating heart knows the stamina
needed an advantage of not seeing the damage and
not being attached to a standard of living
eating out of trash cans ever since the beginning
but a world of efficiency makes it tough for scavengers
the streets had all been cleaned up no scr-ps
he had to search…
from home to home, alas found only houses void of inhabitants
the gadgets seemed to out live their masters
as the house responded to the scratches
with the same cold nothing that cleaned up the disasters
with his last bit strength the dog began to cry
the house sat silent as the dog began to die
on the back porch with no one to see that it needed food
10101 had a job to do…
