Here is one I think you may enjoy, if you do not already enjoy it. "Future Breed Machine" by Meshuggah. They have been one of my favorite bands for a long time, and I still listen to them several times a week.
This is the best audio quality I could find for this song... imo the drums are so good you really need to hear it off a CD to give them justice [Tomas Haake plays in two time signatures at the same time most of the time, often the guitars also are also in an odd time signature.]. The whole Meshuggah album, "Destroy, Erase, Improve", is pure gold.
The lyrics:
Future Breed Machine
"An even stobe a pulse of flashing
Hate-lights of synthetic souls mass produced
Hammered into shape a sign of times dreams
Turn into systems a new way a new breed
Implanted in our minds
Here I am in the hand of a sterile hate
The new control I can not wake
I'm not a sleep
New intelligence arise in emptied bodies
Turgid flesh tested through eternal existence
Do not know codes mother machine
Genocide now scorn a dying race
Evolution in reverse now it's time for me
Changing what am I to be
Contorted an eternity defeated
Programmed to appease you we're symbols of
Perfection humanoids ruined by your laws
Destroy erase improve lesson first
Submission we're docile servant dogs
Our leashes are your limbs
Computed deep within
Remote minds controlled our thoughts no
More doubts the new way is here disgorged
Another thousands fakes that obey to a
Circuit skin to vacuum
Mechanical thoughts I now conceive
No longer me always to see inanity
Millions to be units like me eternally
Human patterns copied dissected distorted
Completed to fit the machine
The nerve fibers give in to cords
To the unknown
See me be me same contents same machine
The currency of ours no more flesh and bone
We are to be unaware of what we have been before
Evolution in reverse now it's time for me
Changing what am i to be contorted
An eternity defeated by a new machine."
