Admirável Chip Novo Lyrics in English Pitty

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Admirável Chip Novo by Pitty from Portuguese to English.
System crash, someone deconfigured me
Where are my robot eyes?
I didn't know, I hadn't noticed
I've always thought I was alive
Screw and fluid instead of joints
I even thought a heart beat here
Nothing's organic, it's all programmed
And me thinking I'd freed myself
But here they come again, I know what they'll do
Reinstall the system
Think, speak, buy, drink
Read, vote, don't forget
Use, be, listen, say
Have, dwell, spend, live
Think, speak, buy, drink
Read, vote, don't forget
Use, be, listen, say
No sir, yes sir, no sir, yes sir
System crash, someone deconfigured me
Where are my robot eyes?
I didn't know, I hadn't noticed
I've always thought I was alive
Screw and fluid instead of joints
I even thought a heart beat here
Nothing's organic, it's all programmed
And me thinking I'd freed myself
But here they come again, I know what they'll do
Reinstall the system
Think, speak, buy, drink
Read, vote, don't forget
Use, be, listen, say
Have, dwell, spend, live
Think, speak, buy, drink
Read, vote, don't forget
Use, be, listen, say
No sir, yes sir, no sir, yes sir
But here they come again, I know what they'll do
Reinstall the system

SONG MEANING

Imagine waking up to discover that you are more circuit than soul, a robot that only thought it was alive. That is the jolt behind Pitty's rock anthem "Admirável Chip Novo." With the urgency of a computer alarm, she sings about a system malfunction ("Pane no sistema") that exposes how society programs us to obey. The rapid-fire commands "Pense, fale, compre, beba / Leia, vote…" feel like pop-up ads in your brain, revealing how media, politics, and consumer culture keep installing updates on our behavior.

Yet the glitch also brings hope. By noticing that her "heart" might be just screws and fluid, Pitty invites us to question every automatic yes sir we give. The song is a modern twist on Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, a call for self-awareness, rebellion, and the search for something truly orgânico in a world of chips and algorithms. It is a head-banging reminder that we can pull the plug, rewrite the code, and choose to live, not just operate.
