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 slogans

We’ve got a box to put in your brain

Hard wired for downloading

All the secrets and the mysteries

You’ve been selfishly withholding

The 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 served

We’ve got a box to put in your brain

Hard wired for downloading

All the secrets and the mysteries

You’ve been selfishly withholding

Make 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 millions

We’ve got a box to put in your brain

Hard wired for downloading

All the secrets and the mysteries

You’ve been selfishly withholding

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 brain

We’ve got a box to put in your brain

Your wants desires

Needs and wishes

Will be duly noted
