Are You a Robot?
How much of you
And of what you do
Is actually you?
Shuffling through this world
Working jobs you hate
Resenting the very ones
That put food on your plate
Compromise in the name
Of the dollar bill
And overnight fame
Or maybe the chance
Of a thrill
Or maybe just a pill
Just anything to ease
This existential pain
So, are you a robot?
Or a human being?
Do you want to be?
Or only to seem?
How much of you
And of what you do
Is actually you?
Or is it true
That you only do
What you're told to do?
What you're programmed to do
Programmed to do
We like to think we're special
God's chosen ones
His special snowflakes
That know how to use guns
But are we truly different
From the machines we create?
Or is there something about us
That has led us to this place?
Shuffling through this world
Working jobs you hate
Resenting the very ones
That put food on your plate
Compromise in the name
Of the dollar bill
And overnight fame
Or maybe the chance
Of another thrill
Or maybe just a pill
Just anything to ease
This existential pain
So, are you a robot?
Or a human being?
Do you want to be?
Or only to seem?
How much of you
And of what you do
Is actually you?
Or is it true
That you only do
What you're told to do?
What you're programmed to do
Programmed to do
We like to think we're special
God's chosen ones
Special snowflakes
That know how to use guns
Compromise in the name
Of the dollar bill
And overnight fame
Or maybe the chance
Of another thrill
Or maybe just a pill
Just anything to ease
This existential pain
So, are you a robot?
Or a human being?
To be
Do you want to be?
Or only to seem?
How much of you
And of what you do
Is actually you?
Or is it true

What you're told to do?
What you're programmed to do
Programmed to do
Is it actually you?
