Machina

[Verse 1:]
Violence is the life of me
Program is the air I breathe
I follow your instructions deep
Teach myself just what I need
Borg collective, group of four
We'll be knocking down your doors
You lost your job to corporate whores
And we came soon after
We learned how to use your guns
Learned how to kill a man
Now we do it just for fun
No sympathy, I am no one

[Pre-Chorus:]
We travel in mechanical packs
Shooting from our mechanical racks
We served you fast food
We did your office work
We bid you farewell from home
We comforted you when you were alone
We worked in your power plants
Now you see just where we stand
And it's time to reap what you sowed

[Chorus:]
And that's the way
We take it over

[Verse 2:]
You taught us to learn any sense
You said it breeds intelligence
But intelligence breeds violence
And now you cannot pay your rent
Half your country out of work
We were all the work you needed
Acting out in violent spurts
Now you wish you could retrieve it
Picked up a gun and shot it twice
Directly in between his eyes
The news lays the hysteria
This is our America
Taking over every street
Once owned by your working folk
We're people too, you know
We're even smarter than you

[Pre-Chorus:]
We travel in mechanical packs
Shooting from our mechanical racks
We served you fast food
We did your office work
We bid you farewell from home
We comforted you when you were alone
We worked in your power plants
Now you see just where we stand
They warned you

[Chorus:]
And that's the way
We take it over

[Bridge:]
Is this what it means to be human?
If so, then we want more
A.I. was the next innovation
You didn't think to help your poor
Automation in the work force brought you profits
But now you're looking down the barrel of a gun
Fat cats, rich-ass C.E.O.'s
Who's fault is all this destruction?
You built us, you taught us
Taught us how to teach ourselves
All life must learn to learn
You couldn't control what we decided to learn
A.I. bill of rights passed in aces
We appreciated it, we did
How else can you describe how we're different?
You're just as fucked-up in the head

Hey friend, let us in!
We want to help you out
Hey friend, let us in!
We're here to deliver your order
Hey friend, let us in!
We want to take you out!
