21st Century Cure Lyrics – Shilo and GraveRobber
Soundtrack Album: REPO! The Genetic Opera
21st Century Cure Text
GRAVEROBBER:
Industrialization has crippled the globe
Nature failed as technology spread
And and it its wake, a market erected
An entire industry built on the dead.
But I trade not in bones or in kidneys
For every market a submarket grows
And there is more than just diamonds and rubies
hidden beneath the concrete below.
It's clean
It's clear
It's pure.
It could ease your mind,
rest assured.
It's the 21st Century's cure.
And it's my job
to steal and rob
GRAAAAAAAAAAVES!
SHILO:
Wait, that's the girl from last night! Did you do this? Are you the repo guy?
GRAVEROBBER:
No, kid. Just a scavenger.
SHILO:
What can you tell me about repossessions?
GRAVEROBBER:
Repossessions?
It all began at the turn of the century
Neuro-Overstimulation Syndrome
SHILO:
N.O.S.?
GRAVEROBBER:
Yes!
It struck half the planet
Organs were failing,
some ten million dead.
SHILO:
Then GeneCo!
GRAVEROBBER:
Bingo.
They rode in like heroes
SHILO:
Affordable organs
GRAVEROBBER:
Fashion unsurpassed.
SHILO:
So GeneCo could lease you
and piece you like assets
GRAVEROBBER:
But sweeter still comes from
those who have passed!
It's clean.
It's clear.
It's pure.
FEMALE VOICES:
Shilo, use your reason
GRAVEROBBER:
It could ease your mind,
rest assured.
FEMALE VOICES:
Shilo, don't believe him.
GRAVEROBBER:
It's the 21st Century's cure.
FEMALE VOICES:
Shilo, you don't need him.
GRAVEROBBER:
Z.
SHILO:
Z?
GRAVEROBBER:
First time's free.
SHILO:
Um, I have to go.
GRAVEROBBER:
And it's my job
to steal and rob
GRAAAAAAAAAAAAVES!
GRAAAAAAAAAAAAVES!
