Verse

Seems like life is a catch twenty two

Though you’re good at what you do

They refuse to promote you

Rather tell you you’re through

Than give you a raise

So quick to bash and blame with very little praise

At first they say you need education

Then experience becomes the required regulation

No one gives you a shot

‘Cause you’re insignificant an easily replaceable speck or dot

Simply unacknowledged

Like some young dumb scum who never ever graduated college

Now-a-days apparently we all need

A doctorate or at least a master’s degree

To have any kind of financial success

Unless you wisely invest

Or were blessed

To be born scorned as the wealthy’s spawn

Chorus

If we all stay stupid robots

With no hearts or smarts

Just doing what we’re told

We won’t even know

That we are controlled

Ignorance and fear stole our souls

The world’s gone cold

The whole globe’s been bought and sold

Damn the devil’s got ahold

Will we explode

Or like the dot com phenomenon implode and fold

Verse

Becoming a casualty

To virtual reality

Cyberspace is degrading dating

Quality true factual information

While machines keep replacing our jobs

Turning once skilled workers into poor unemployed slobs

I’m sorry technology bothers me

But there’s no honesty or modesty

These peeps tease

Hide behind tv and computer screens

Usually in need of masturbation relief

They’ll exaggerate like fiends

Or get obscene and mean

Misrepresenting themselves as what you want them to be

The internet’s a modern day catalog of dicks and tits bliss

Silly artificially personified epic vast masses of fakeness

Really just puffed up profiles and pics

Chorus

If we all stay stupid robots

With no hearts or smarts

Just doing what we’re told

We won’t even know

That we are controlled

Ignorance and fear stole our souls

The world’s gone cold

The whole globe’s been bought and sold

Damn the devil’s got ahold

Will we explode

Or like the dot com phenomenon implode and fold

Verse

We keep forgetting

Bad debiting and crediting

Is what created this economic mess

Wall street seems to have made lots of bad bets

But then again big banks got bailed out

Creating a dark cloud

A shroud of doubt

On how do we even bout corporate elite

Doesn’t mighty always defeat the meek

The poor starve and bleed

While corps have more rights than me

Underfunding schools miseducating the youth

Spending lewd amounts of crude dough on troops

Globalize armed forces

To fight for limited natural resources

Which I dread and fear

Means nuclear warfare

Can mankind find father time

To rewind

Undue and fix damaged we’ve caused

‘Cause mother nature bouts back with huge brute force

Chorus

If we all stay stupid robots

With no hearts or smarts

Just doing what we’re told

We won’t even know

That we are controlled

Ignorance and fear stole our souls

The world’s gone cold

The whole globe’s been bought and sold

Damn the devil’s got ahold

Will we explode

Or like the dot com phenomenon implode and fold
