This song is the same as Presenting: The Dancing Machine (The Robot with the Monkey Head) which appears on the 2005 compilation Cocktails & Dreams. It was first released under this title on Fat Music Volume 6.
Day One has just begun
I'm burnt, broken, dazed and numb
Beginnings feel more like ends
Friends feel less and less like friends
Shake, shake, shake, shake off another dumb mistake
I'm stupider than you, you can see it in my face
See it in my sloping brow and forehead
I'm missing all the misses 'cause I'm stone dead
We're f**k ups and perverts and dickweeds and drunks
Drowing in rivers chained into trunks
This new work is awkward, I don't like the lines
I hate all the people with pinpointed eyes
Shake, shake, shake, shake off another dumb mistake
I'm stupider than you, you can see it in my face
F**k what we say and all that we do
I'm saving myself for something beautifully true
The Lawrence Arms released Presenting: the dancing machine (il robot con la testa di scimmia) on Tue Nov 19 2002.
