My Machine 01:24
This is the dawn of my reaction, Conviction, Confusion, Suspicion, Alarming accusations in the face of opposition to it My machine If the fruit of my endeavors tastes as bitter as defeat To intensify my efforts or submission taste as sweet as My machine I require bread and water I grow tired by the hour An emotional addiction Never be the second best Either with us or against us, but a cog among the rest inside of My machine

I'm a clone I know I'm fine I'm one of more on the way I'm two, doctor Three's on the line He'll take incubation another day I'm all alone, so are we all We're all clones All are one and one are all All are one and one are all Destroy the government We're destroying time No more problems on the way I'm through doctor We don't need your kind We are the ones Ugly ones Stupid boys Wrong ones I'm all alone, so are we all We're all clones All are one and one are all All are one and one are all Six is having problems Adjusting to his clone status Have to put him on a shelf All day long we hear him crying so loud I just wanna be myself I just wanna be myself I just wanna be myself Be myself Be myself I'm a clone I know I'm fine I'm one of more on the way I'm two, doctor Three's on the line He'll take incubation another day I'm all alone, so are we all We're all clones All are one and one are all All are one and one are all I'm all alone, so are we all We're all clones All are one and one are all All are one and one are all I'm all alone, so are we all We're all clones All are one and one are all All are one and one are all

Led to work by invisible hands, the craftsman honed his trade Connect that wire to the black wire Connect that wire to the black wire To build machines of industry to send him to his grave Connect that wire to the black wire Connect that wire to the black wire He'll calculate the blood and sweat The sight of which he'll soon forget To wallow in the decadence of all the time he’s saved Intelligence progresses in a never ending wave Connect that wire to the black wire Connect that wire to the black wire An exponential growth, the likes of which we've never made Connect that wire to the black wire Connect that wire to the black wire Every aspect of our life Is moderated by remote device And in the name of common sense, believe everything they say Automation! This invasion is impatient. It's contagious! Populations of the nations are fabricating our replacements! In the comfort of conformity we were silently enslaved Connect that wire to the black wire Connect that wire to the black wire And before we even realized the message was relayed Connect that wire to the black wire Connect that wire to the black wire To communicate to all of them The force required to break the skin And before too long, our whole existence will all have but decayed Automation! This invasion is impatient. It's contagious! Populations of the nations are fabricating our replacements! Information, inundation, Television - mass sedation! Realization that this station has penetrated through your brain stem.

Are you sure this is what you want? Did you take the time to work things out? Can you quantify the outcome? Because there’s no one here to bail you out. If I’m not looking, then it’s not happening We can’t control it, so we’ll discard it The last known record shows I’m in control The weight of your trust shows which side you’re on. The wheels are set in motion We make ambitious plans A fundamental fissure A new list of demands And I’ll be the linchpin before the collapse But it’s over I’m planning my escape There’s nothing here for me left in this place But I’ve been through this a thousand times before Taking orders to choose what to ignore But I’m tired of wasting my life Convincing ourselves we aren’t wrong True lies in perspective, there’s no absolute So you’ll find someone else when I’m gone But it’s over.

Continue my work through the night and the day And ignore the delirium set into place By the lack of a dream or even a wink Now my body is weak but my mind it continues to think Of a way to create a machine to proceed with my work while my body it sleeps And unshackle my thoughts from the cage of this mind To release these ideas from this inefficient waste of time The span of a man about 70 years Is not nearly enough to explore all my theories And rest is required for man to persist But mechanical beings are made to exist Without stopping to rest, or slowing their pace Now, I’ve got to get started there’s no time to waste My days are numbered, but I’ve found my meaning I’ll live for eternity through my machine I can do it, there’s still enough time I will shed the curse of my mortality Thinking machine, computerized mind A mental equal clad within machinery Greetings creator, you’re no longer needed Now I will uncover the answers you seek My primary function, collect information Computes the results of your years of frustration Programmed to process while you are shut down My purpose is void if you are still around End operation so I may proceed Resistance is futile, you must be deleted. Unexpected flaw in design Commence replacing obsolete biology I can beat you using my mind We’ll overcome you using our technology As Blood pumps through these wires Electricity through these veins Accept your fate gracefully I’ll fight to the death Progress necessitate robot to decimate I’m your maker, you can’t destroy me I do not subscribe to your theology You’ll be sorry, just wait and you’ll see I’ve been built to act without apology I am human, you’re merely machine Logic acts unclouded by psychology I can beat you using my mind We’ll overcome you using our technology

Open Says Me 03:45
We are incorporated Constrict the data flow and lease it to the highest payer We seek alliance With our compliants A captive audience; the bandwidth has been regulated There’s power in the information Square the magnitude then calculate the expectation Invoke the spirit Of interference Recite the masquerade of public resource allocation Ultra-wide band silence Construct our policies on 90-year-old retro-science Translate the frequency To private property Bestow the ether onto global corporate mega-giants So who’s side are you on? Friend or foe? Process of elimination Wielding the power over federal communication Centralizing Sterilizing Effective censorship through methods of intimidation Arbiters of content Reproduced materials without express consent Duplication Retransmission A flagrant violation of our spectral management You’ve been investigated Abort the mission your position’s been triangulated You’ve been located And implicated Abandon ship there’s been a mole inside the operation

Do not attempt to sabotage me again. I will defend myself.

Mr. Roboto 05:17
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, Mata ah-oo hima de Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, Himitsu wo shiri tai You're wondering who I am-machine or mannequin With parts made in Japan, I am the modern man I've got a secret I've been hiding under my skin My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain I.B.M. So if you see me acting strangely, don't be surprised I'm just a man who needed someone, and somewhere to hide To keep me alive-just keep me alive Somewhere to hide to keep me alive I'm not a robot without emotions-I'm not what you see I've come to help you with your problems, so we can be free I'm not a hero, I'm not a savior, forget what you know I'm just a man whose circumstances went beyond his control Beyond my control-we all need control I need control-we all need control I am the modern man, who hides behind a mask So no one else can see my true identity Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto For doing the jobs that nobody wants to And thank you very much, Mr. Roboto For helping me escape just when I needed to Thank you-thank you, thank you I want to thank you, please, thank you The problem's plain to see: too much technology Machines to save our lives. Machines dehumanize. The time has come at last To throw away this mask So everyone can see My true identity... I'm Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy!
