ROBOT

You’re a robot! You act mechanical; ain’t got a mind of your own …

Controlled with a remote control; put together with Bones.

Are you made of steel? Are you real? Are you a man or a machine?

Do you bleed? Do you eat? Do you sleep? Do you breed?

Do you perform at your own will or do you only perform when you’re forced to?

Do the things that you do ’cause you feel that you’re supposed to?

You’ll never be the greatest if you persist to follow them other followers.

You’ll never be a leader, never be original, never be you.

You’ll never be her, never be him, and you’ll never get a break again

Fade into oblivion … unknown... without a name!

Forgotten like the ashes of a cigarette when it’s smoked out

Drained like the dirt in the street when it rains and there’s no doubt

There’s no coming back from it, there’s no one else to blame for this

You chose the road to travel so it’s nobody else’s biz

Wake up! It’s the same for everyman; you ain’t no different

They lied when they said you were magnificent.

Chorus:

You’ll never be flesh and bones and brains

You’ll never be blood and sweat and tears

You’ll never be her or him or me

You’ll never be real, alive or free

You might as well be an empty container with a thousand wires inside of you

Connecting your brain sending signals to the rest of your body making you do

The things that you do and if there’s a mechanical fault then you’re through

Your heart’s a box with nothing inside of it … so what’s new?

You’re stiff as a piece of steel; you lack emotion and each time

You sing it sounds like the mechanics in the tape machine must be broken.

It’s busted! You can’t be trusted; your every action is decided by the

Push of a button always instigated by the next man with a plan.

What happens when the power goes and you’re not the machine you used to be?

You’re history electrically you fail, you’ll never be

Resuscitated, revived; you’re too mechanical to feel the vibe

Do you even breathe the air that we breathe … are you alive?

Were you constructed scientifically to follow day-to-day procedures?

Tell me … what’s on your mind? Can you can even think for yourself!

You look like you’re a human being but you act like a machine

Do you sleep and if you do, do you dream?

Chorus:

How long can you go on being the way that you are?

With a million others like you, with your brain in a jar

An experiment constructed and brought to life in a lab

Engineered to take the pressure in a world gone mad.

In the days to come you’ll do nothing but follow the orders

Till your life is drained out of your system and you no longer

Work, function, do, co-operate

The way that you’re supposed to and that’s when you meet your fate.

You’re out of touch with reality. Taken off the production line

With a screw loose, you’re confused, and you’re old news, and you’re no use.

Number two million and thirty-eight with a glitch

A problem that even Einstein couldn’t fix.

You’re lost in a time in the past and you’re found with your mind trapped in a cage

Your life summarised in a line on a page …

The start and the end with nothing in between

And the fact is you ain’t what you seem …

Chorus:
