Down in the park
Where the Machmen meet
The machines are playing `kill-by-numbers'
Down in the park with a friend called `Five'
I was in a car crash
Or was it the war?
Well, I've never been quite the same
Little white lies like "I was there"
Come to "Zom-Zom's", a place to eat
Like it was built in one day
You can watch the humans
Trying to run
Oh, look, there's a rape machine
I'd go outside if it looks the other way
You wouldn't believe
The things they do
Down in the park
Where the chant is "Death, death, death"
Until the sun cries morning
Down in the park with friends of mine
"We are not lovers
We are not romantics
We are here to serve you"
A different face but the words never change

Album “Replicas”
Scritta da Gary Numan.
Influenzato da Orwell, Huxley, Ballard e Dick, Gary Numan propone in stile synthpop la sua personale visione distopica della società futura, dove ogni giorno allo “Zom Zoms”, un locale sul parco, le élite si ritrovano per divertirsi assistendo allo spettacolo “Kill-by-Numbers” nel corso del quale androidi (i “Machmen”) e macchine danno la caccia ad esseri umani come se fossero selvaggina…
