Enemy Gene

[Verse 1: Kevin Barnes] Aren't you sick of the con Not quite Homo-Luminous They're expecting so little Can't feel the miracle A zombies licking your window For black body radiation Oooh [Chorus: Janelle Monáe, Kevin Barnes] Love breaks the machine Everything is half apart, what can it mean? How can I trust my fractious heart Knowing I have the enemy gene? Oooh Love breaks the machine Everything is half in dream, how can it be? Everything is born in shame It's not just me Particle wave duality How can we ever evolve When our gods are so primitive? They destroy the film [Verse 2: Kevin Barnes] They want to disable my system Looking for traces of a clean hit If the end of the world has ever happened This must be it I've grown too strong that's what they said To keep my animal spirit It empties me Now I'm vacant [Chorus: Kevin Barnes, Janelle Monáe, Both] Love breaks the machine Everything is half apart, what can it mean? How can I trust my fractious heart Knowing I have the enemy gene? Oooh Love breaks the machine Everything is half in dream, how can it be? Everything's born in shame It's not just me Particle wave duality I know that we'll never survive This little victory Love breaks the machine Everything is half apart, what can it mean? How can I trust my fractious heart Knowing I have the enemy gene? Oooh Love breaks the machine Everything is half in dream, how can it be? Everything is born in shame It's not just me Particle wave duality [Outro: Kevin Barnes and Janelle Monáe] How can we ever evolve when our gods are so primitive? They destroy our hope for peace Hope for love
