Modern Robot

Back when I was younger I would dream about my future
And how free I'd be to walk about the earth
I'd grow up thinking that all good hardworking people were bound
To get all the things that they deserve

Now all I do is pace and pace and wish that I could leave this place
All without using my brain do nothing I can't automate
When you're just a waste of space who plays into their corporate games
Tell them there's nothing they'll take then let them walk over your grave

Think that there's no other way to live your life free of the blame
Of plastic boxes made by slaves in foreign countries owned by the states
Consume without ethical base because there's little other way
When there's no choice but die or pay oh who are you to play the saint

You're a modern robot
(Modern robot)
I'm a modern robot
(Modern robot)

Where's the fun
In taking turns
It's my fault
Is it yours

Stuck inside for weeks on end in cubicles and dark kitchens
You'll print your name on cards and pens
To prove you're someone worth somethin
Your titanium arms and legs keep you not thinking and movin
Make you feel the emptiness over and over again

Do you feel like a person or do you feel like giving in
To this never ending feelin that you'll never be forgiven
Will you carry the burden of premeditated ignorance
Is what it is to be human a wish you were the opposite

You're a modern robot
(Modern robot)
I'm a modern robot
(Modern robot)

We're modern robots
(Modern robot)
We're all modern robots
