	This is a slow trip-hoppy groove about the impact of technology, and the globalisation of our economy. Its based around some sampled loops and assorted banging and crashing noises together with a little fretless bass and Lisa's lovely voice.

	Story Behind the Song This is song about replacing people with microchips, and moral ethics with economics. The erosion of democracy in western society. All in one little song. Its not as left as it sounds really - its just not right. Lyrics Modicum of Madness This is the modicum of madness of silicon and so much sadness and we don't need you anymore with our glowing lines of phosphor we compute that we will prosper and we won't need you anymore the blazing lights are fading they've ceased communicating and moved down ... to Mexico The dream is gone but you dream on and hope it's there when you awaken and hope it's there when you awaken The factories they all stand waiting and with champagne you're celebrating our collective despair the listless they grow weary 'cause the news is always dreary they'll rise to take you down You can see them how they're waiting as they stand by the factory gate and their numbers, never ending their lives have been outdated like those machines they operated they'll never, no never work again The dream is gone but you dream on and hope it's there when you awaken and hope it's there when you awaken
