Dehumanizer was a collaborative effort and includes the only songs with lyrics by both Ronnie and me—“Computer God” and “Master of Insanity.” “Computer God” was actually the title of a song I’d written for my own band a few years earlier. I had this idea that God was the ultimate computer, and we were all its programs. That fits in with my belief in fate, in that everything is mapped out and there’s not a lot we can do to alter the course of our lives.
