Dodoma (literally "It has sunk" in Gogo), officially Dodoma Urban District, population 324,347 (2002 census), is the national capital of Tanzania, and the capital of the Dodoma region. In 1973, plans were made to move the capital to Dodoma. Tanzania's National Assembly moved there in February 1996, but many government offices remain in the previous national capital, Dar es Salaam, which remains the commercial capital.

HappyLife, with the machines
Scattered around the room
Look what they made, they made it for me
Happy Technology
Outside, the lions roam
Feeding on remains
We'll never leave, look at us now
So in love with the way we are
Here
The World That The Children Made

Every night, they rock us to sleep

Is it real, or is it a dream?
Can you believe in machines?
Outside, the beating sun
Can you hear the screams?
We'll never leave, look at us now
So in love with the way we are
