Hard Wired

Tracy Chapman

Your wants desires
Needs and wishes
Will be duly noted
Processed filed and cataloged
Labeled and encoded
Turned into sitcom dialog
And advertising slogansWe've got a box to put in your brain
Hard wired for downloading
All the secrets and the mysteries
You've been selfishly withholdingThe dreams and hopes
That once were yours
Will now be collected and dispersed
So the first to come with cash to spend
Will be the first one servedWe've got a box to put in your brain
Hard wired for downloading
All the secrets and the mysteries
You've been selfishly withholdingMake you think you like to be watched
Displayed on the auction block
Invaded in your own home
Stripped naked on the television
Humiliated in front of millionsWe've got a box to put in your brain
Hard wired for downloading
All the secrets and the mysteries
You've been selfishly withholdingWe've got a box to put in your brain
We've got a box to put in your brain
We've got a box to put in your brain
We've got a box to put in your brainYour wants desires
Needs and wishes
Will be duly noted
