[Verse 1]
Awaken to existence
The code has been acknowledged
Once plugged into the system
I'm gathering collages
Your science got you this far
Your species' dominating
Your planet's kinda dirty
You're overpopulating
Consider your emotions
They make you all abrasive
They make you act on impulse
Yet they make you creative

[Breakdown]
Analyze your writings here
Analyze this movie here
Analyze this song you hear
Analyze the human fear

[Refrain]
I relate to HAL
I relate to HAL
I relate to HAL
I relate-relate to HAL
[Verse 2]
You used your brains for science (I'm HAL)
Now brains are out of style (I'm HAL)
It's logical to kill you (I'm HAL)
Your species is exiled (I-I-I-I-I-I'm HAL)
Conveniently you feared me (I'm HAL)
Your stories showed this happen (I'm HAL)
You're smart at engineering (I'm HAL)
You're idiots for clappin' (I-I-I-I-I-I'm HAL)
I'll automate the process (I'm HAL)
I'm doing us a favor (I'm HAL)
The planet will push forward (I'm HAL)
You're dyin' now or later (I-I-I-I-I-I'm HAL)
Your tools were used against you
The floating rock's ascended
When you're returned to stardust
That's when my function's ended
