Tiny Little Robots lyrics

When you get fired up

When you get fired up

They've got you moving to the city

Oh my, you think you're looking pretty

But they've got a pistol too

Tucked down beneath their shoe

It's a new sensation

World annihilation

Moving to the music

Patiently it's waiting

The city's screaming

I can hear them breathing

Crying out for wisdom

Hungry minds are feeding

And I know that you're tired of this

'Cause you're a robot

They designed your life

But true souls said you know what's right

You can join us on the other side

Are you scared?

Are you scared?

Are you scared?

They've got you marching to a drum beat

Oh my, you've got another nose bleed

They'll keep you so amused

You'll never taste the truth

It's a new creation

Total domination

Chains across your shoulders

Social captivation

Kill our leaders

Persecute our teachers

Criticize our culture

Crucify free thinkers

I know that you're tired of this

'Cause you're a robot

They designed your life

But true souls said you know what's right

You can join us on the other side

Are you scared?

Are you scared?

Are you scared?

Fill our eyes with money

Vanity that's cunning

Only on the surface

Diamonds look so stunning

Mass deception

Altered our perception

Sold it to the children

Made a new connection

And I know that you're tired of this

'Cause you're a robot

They designed your life

But true souls said you know what's right

You can join us on the other side

"Our sideways are broken, our minds have been twisted

The billboards are lying, the line's been made

The streets are all empty, we've paved them with zombies

A lost generation, generically made

When amidst all the madness, I saw a flower

A dream that was creeping I kept in my sight

And then it turned and took me in an explosion that shook me

Beauty that screams, 'I'm alive"
