They begin and are ready, ready to thrive

Often unwanted, often deprived

Cerebral channels are waiting to store

Immediate input it wants to absorb

And their makers not wanting to see

The things that they teach

The ways they behave

And their minds continue to feed

Things that can't be erased

are recorded and saved

It's bad data, bad data

It's bad data, bad data

Damaged perceptions will fill their minds

And still in our world there is hate and violence

And who will they look to for love and guidance

Machines they are not they think, hear and see

Our children are really what we make them to be

We are the makers of identity

Models for our future to be

If we could look at ourselves and see

What we are they will also certainly be

It's bad data, bad data

It's bad data, bad data

Fractured reflections will kill mankind

They're taking in bad data
