This is yet another remix of one of my older songs.

Another world, another time...

The Carads, masters of science and technology, live in the city of Rajma, apart from their Relian siblings, who are magic users, and the almost unknown Ba'hari shape shifters that were pressed into labour as spies and agents.

As the three suns set on Rajma, taking their multi-coloured shadows with them, the neon lights of the futuristic capital city arise. And it's in the clubs for hackers and other unsavoury technologist elements that their creations, the androids, sing for the patrons.

Hacker Ray-ah and her girlfriend, the android Jazeh, have other ideas, involving freedom and self-determination, for Rajma's latest citizens-to-be.

Based on some stories I wrote. nafina.com/tag/worldagent/

trèn, dóu, shì

in the gleaming buildings of ràjma town
the three suns cast colorful shadows all 'round
the kids are hacking on their gā dzé gear
at night they're in bars, lending us an ear
we androids sing all night and day
when it comes to our lives? haven't got a say

but we're not tools
not toys for fools
not pleasure dolls
we're living beings and all
our feelings and dreams have just begun
and we deserve our respect like anyone

they've got a brain, i've got a conscience core
but i don't think that makes their thoughts worth more
they tell me i'm fake, but still they're here
they want me quiet, shut it off, it's just gears
they created my body, and now i'm the villain
kids don't choose to be born as parents' children
(tou-san, arigatou)

but we're not tools
not toys for fools
not pleasure dolls
we're living beings and all
our feelings and dreams have just begun
and we deserve our rights like anyone

sitting with my human girlfriend eating chō kyài
(yeah, i get my energy from food just like you)
holding hands and playing normal, it's just a lie
(oh yeah it turns out, i can do that part too)
neon glyphs outside the arcade light up in time
(tan zù 'réi)
feeling like a normal girl when the stars align
(shove me outside, real people only, so they say)

but we're not tools
not toys for fools
not pleasure dolls
we're living beings and all
our feelings and dreams have just begun
and we deserve our joys like anyone

but we're not tools
not toys for fools
not pleasure dolls
we're living beings and all
our feelings and dreams are a real thing
and if you listen to me,
maybe give all that a think.

jādze out.
