Oh, oh no.

Not so good tonight.

Oh, they're talking,
Oh, they need it,
Oh, they want you,
Oh, oh no.

Standing on the sidelines,
Baffled and confused,
They've offered you sweet reason,
What have you to lose?
Take a penny, leave a penny, kill for pennies,
Have you any shame?
How have you survived so long,
Forcing us to maim.

Machines that give justice, mercy,
Mercy, human kindness from a screw.
Dials turn and displays flicker,
Just another cog with work to do.
Work for money, die for money, breathe in money,
Money is the way,
How have we survived so long,
Off our knees to pray?

Oh, you're weeping.
Oh, that's pointless.
Oh, you want them?
Oh, oh no.

Working by the guidelines,
Shattered and construed.
They've turned your soul to numbers,
And you've nothing left to lose.
Build a robot, see a robot, be a robot,
Cut yourself in two,
How did we survive no long,
With nothing to do?

Order gives us structure, glory,
Glory, working for the good of man.
Throw away what made you human,
That'll fit the plan.
Slave at something, slave at nothing, slave no matter what.
Build a soaring temple for the corpses,
that are all we've got.

How have we survived so long?
How have we survived so long?
How have we survived so long?
How did it survive at all?
How did it survive the fall?
How, how, how, how.

Oh, you've fallen.
Oh, you're worthless.
Oh, forgotten.
Oh, oh no.
