The Daleks i/ˈdɑːlɛks/ are a fictional extraterrestrial race of mutants from the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. Within the series, Daleks are cyborgs from the planet Skaro, created by the scientist Davros during the final years of a thousand-year war against the Thals. They are genetically engineered Kaled mutants integrated within a tank-like or robot-like mechanical shell. The resulting creatures are a powerful race bent on universal conquest and domination, utterly without pity, compassion or remorse. Various storylines portray them as having had every emotion removed except hate, leaving them with a desire to purge the Universe of all non-Dalek life. Collectively they are the greatest enemies of the series' protagonist, the Time Lord known as the Doctor.
Their catchphrase is "Exterminate!"
The Daleks were created by writer Terry Nation and designed by BBC designer Raymond Cusick. They were introduced in December 1963 in the second Doctor Who serial, colloquially known as The Daleks. They became an immediate and huge hit with viewers, featuring in many subsequent serials and two 1960s motion pictures. They have become as synonymous with Doctor Who as the Doctor himself, and their behaviour and catchphrases are now part of British popular culture. "Hiding behind the sofa whenever the Daleks appear" has been cited as an element of British cultural identity; and a 2008 survey indicated that 9 out of 10 British children were able to identify a Dalek correctly. In 1999 a Dalek appeared on a postage stamp celebrating British popular culture, photographed by Lord Snowdon. In 2010, readers of science fiction magazine SFX voted the Dalek as the all-time greatest monster, beating out competition including Japanese movie monster Godzilla and J. R. R. Tolkien's Gollum, of The Lord of the Rings.

Don't expect progress, the movement's all lateral.
Upward climb result in heinous crime.
Talkin' Tulsa '21, May 31
Burnt Black Wall Street behind some pale sheets
Shit is weak
Historically, Events remain cyclical
Stories so typical the tears run dry.
Sip the Iron Wine as poetic device.
Quick to link thought like when tape get spliced
What I call a good time?
My hood and three dice.
Ol' Gold got this kid real nice.
I'm a atypical stereotype.
Ol' Gold got this kid real nice.
I'm a atypical stereotype.
Chorus:
Truth stay intangible, they treat us like animals
(4x)
They got enamored with the glamour, lost sight of our
plight.
Doesn't take proper grammar to be able to write.
Harsh truth always heard between the lines I recite.
Change the world and I'll change my gripes.
Change the world and I'll change my gripes.
Sip the Iron wine at such great heights I ain't
conscious.
Speak for the paupers, griots, and the authors.
