Mechanical, mechanical,
They want our arms mechanical,
Our fingers should be clinical, our faces be identical.
Capital, capital,
They want us to ensure it all,
Give it all, give it all, our minds should remain gullible.
They want us to be silent, silent, silent...
They want us to be quiet, quiet, quiet...
Fools, they want our hearts to beat and stop
And pump our blood by their
Rules, they want our minds to think we think
And be their mules.
Fools, they want our hearts to be as pawns
For them to rule,
They think we’re fools, they think we’re fools,
They have us fooled.
Mechanical, mechanical,
They need our arms mechanical,
Our fingers should be willingly, compliantly clinical.
Capital, capital,
They feed on their capital
Order, order, our minds should stay in order.
They need us to be silent, silent, silent...
They need us to be quiet, quiet, quiet...
Fools, they want our hearts to beat and stop
And pump our blood by their
Rules, they want our minds to think we think
And be their mules.
Fools, they want our hearts to be as pawns
For them to rule,
They think we’re fools, they think we’re fools,
(They think we’re) Defects,
‘Cause we do not conform.
(They think we’re) Flaws unchecked,
‘Cause we do not implore.
(They think we’ll) Accept
The system they enforce,
(But we’re not) Defects,
We’re people and we’re sore,
So give us back what’s not yours.
Fools, they want our hearts to beat and stop
And pump our blood by their
Rules, they want our minds to think we think
And be their mules.
Fools, they want our hearts to be as pawns
For them to rule,
They think we’re fools, they think we’re fools,
They are fools.
