1994 - Alec Benjamin

Benjamin, science whiz My computer bat friend Tell me where, tell me when I'll meet you ninja Ben At the back of the record store With the tapes you secured Prove the extent of their viciousness As they purge our scientists My computer bat hunts for facts Campaigns funded by The fossil fuel industry How many of us will they own To give them global mastery?

Wield your hammer like weapons drawn or Wield your hammer to right what's wrong, right what's wrong?

Wield your hammer like weapons drawn or Wield your hammer to right what's wrong, right what's wrong? Only time will show Only time will show Only time will show, only time will show, mm
