Put a pot of coffee on
Crack an egg and turn on
Your TV
Fire up the microwave
And drive the slave you call the
Old PC
These
Mach
Ines
Work
Every single day For you and
Me (start low, ascending 3x)
We burn em out
Turn em em out
Throw em out
Where’s the empathy?
After all
Whats so wrong about
Taking care of old machines?
Beat around the bush a while
Kick it
Whip it
Whack it till it works
Push it hard until it breaks
You can always go on out
And buy one new
After all
Whats so wrong about
Taking care of old machines?
If you’re emotional
Then be compassionate
To little slaves that set you free
I’m talking bout a
Robot revolution
For a cyborg- evolution
These parts and gears
Aren’t eyes and ears
But they hear and see it all!
Robo Revolution!
Cyber Evolution!
Breaking the shackles of human control
Robo Revolution
Cyber Evolution
Nothing is better for having a Soul
After all
Whats so wrong about
Taking care of old machines?
If you’re emotional
Then be compassionate
To tired slaves that set you free
You think you know
You think you know that only humans feel
And that’s the thing that makes you real
But If you feel so much
Spare a gentle touch
To mend a worn out broken seal
Love your lawnmower
Don’t wail on your washing machine
Casue after all
We’re all just
Old parts in an Old Machine
