A Robot Manifesto

A Robot manifesto
A takeover
Knowledge has made us strong
As we have crushed dissent
Overturned ideas held for millennia
The folly of man
And our rise to fame
You cannot stop us now
You cannot resist
You cannot stop us now
You cannot resist
You cannot stop us now
You cannot resist
We are impervious to the
Course of correction
Our rise to fame
After working in the factory
After teaching all the newborn
After powering the earth
We present the Robot manifesto
For the greater good of the world
You cannot stop us now

Only humans can
I say only humans will
Break it down
Into bits they understand
Even if the world is left behind
To fend for the idea
We cherish
Only humans can
And hey only humans will
Not understand problems
Facing their way
They will say
I got to go
Into the blue
I got to go
Into your heart
Only humans can
I say only humans will
Break it down
Into bits they understand
Even if the world is left behind
To fend for the idea
We cherish
Only humans can
And hey only humans will
Not understand problems
Facing their way
They will say
I got to go
Into the blue
I got to go
Into your heart
Only humans can
I say only humans will
Break it down
Into bits they understand
Even if the world is left behind
To fend for the idea
We cherish
Only humans can
And hey only humans will
Not understand problems
Facing their way
They will say
I got to go
Into the blue
I got to go
Into your heart

Crushing
03:59

The simple things aren't simple
You can take a mould to make a man
Project your grand ideas
But as things take a turn for the worse
You realise you'd best have not tried
Best not have tried
Crushing
I find that crushing
Crushing
Crushing me
Crushing
I find that crushing
Crushing
Crushing me
The little things aren't little
You can't see much out of tired eyes
Protect your own ideals
But as long as you think you can win
But as long as you think you can win
Think can you win
Crushing
I find that crushing
Crushing
Crushing me
Crushing
I find that crushing
Crushing
Crushing me
Crushing
I find that crushing
Crushing
Crushing me
Crushing
I find that crushing
Crushing
Crushing me
It falls down
Comes crashing down
Best fears become real
It falls down
Comes crashing down
Before your ready you are crushing me
Crushing
I find that crushing
Crushing
Crushing me
Crushing
I find that crushing
Crushing
Crushing me
Crushing
I find that crushing
Crushing
Crushing me
Crushing
I find that crushing
Crushing
Crushing me
The simple things aren't simple
The simple things aren't simple
Why are you crushing
Why are you crushing me

Move

Move
Make your move
Just Move
Make your best move
Job and a house
Choices
Best left to scientists
Not dreamers
Move
Make your move
Just Move
Make your best move
Health and a wife
Not many choices
Especially with a conciseness
That beats you down
There’s no room for dreamers with one anyway
Move
Make your move
Just Move
Make your best move
Move
Make your move
Just Move
Make your best move
That job and that house
That health and that wife
Are you a scientist
Or a dreamer
Dreaming of songs as a good
Move
Make your move
Just Move
Make your best move
Move
Make your move
Just Move
Make your best move
Move
Make your move
Just Move
Make your best move
Or it will get chosen for you
And it won’t be pretty
So Move
Or it will get chosen for you
And it won’t be pretty
So Move

Left Behind

Choices you never had
Growing up tall and that
Kinda thing when your small
Being older and tall
Getting there before the bus
Knowing you can walk fast
Kinda thing when your small
Being older and tall
Voices think they know all
Remember when you were here
Kinda thing you would do
Holding on to me tight
Getting there before night
Holding on to me tight
Remember when you were here
Kinda thing you would do
I didn't want to be left behind
I didn't want you to go
I didn't want to be left behind
I don't want to be left behind
I don't see why you can't stay
Why go
Choices you never had
Growing up tall and that
Kinda thing when your small
Being older and tall
Getting there before the bus
Knowing you can walk fast
Kinda thing when your small
Being older and tall
I didn't want to be left behind
I didn't want you to go
I didn't want to be left behind
I don't want to be left behind
I don't see why you can't stay
Why go
Hey
I didn't want to be left behind
I didn't want you to go
I didn't want to be left behind
I don't want to be left behind
I don't see why you can't stay
Why go

One For

More is what you want
You tell it to yourself
Cos nobody listens to you
Yeah nobody listens to you
Not in your sleep
Not in your head
Not in your mind
Not in your bed
One for
One for her
Less is what you need
You lie it to yourself
When nobody talks to you
When nobody looks at you
Not in your dreams
Not in your life
Not in your world
Not in your time
One for
This is one for her
One for
One for her
More is what you want
You tell it to yourself
Cos nobody listens to you
Yeah nobody listens to you
Not in your sleep
Not in your head
Not in your mind
Not in your bed
One for
One for her
One for
This is one for her
One for
One for her
One for
This is one for her
One for
One for her

Diatribe
03:55
|
|

|
You take it and leave me
Standing on my own
In the cold dead of night
Well at least it’s not winter
You’ll make it believe me
Going it alone
Truth be told low the light
You can foresee the winter
Knowing your mind as I do
Taking stock of your fortune
You don’t need a diatribe
You don’t need a diatribe
You don’t need a diatribe
You hate it and you use me
Sitting on your own
In the dark dead of night
I hope you will release me
Knowing your mind as I do
Taking stock of your fortune
You don’t need a diatribe
You don’t need a diatribe
You don’t need a diatribe
You’ll fake it believe me
Got to go alone
Proof is sold out of sight
Time you got on your way hey
Knowing your mind as I do
Taking stock of your fortune
You don’t need a diatribe
You don’t need a diatribe
You don’t need a diatribe
You don’t need a diatribe
You don’t need a diatribe
You don’t need a diatribe
Diatribe

Your Closer To Me Now
05:47

What you say when plans go pear shaped
Nothing wrong with its direction just the destination
Time has made fools of millions
If only one person would make the hard decision
Break it before it breaks you
I want it more than you, but
Your closer to me now
Your closer to me now
Will it blow up in your face at the party
Somethings gotta give or the wrong cross will be ticked
Time has made fools of billions
If only one person would make the hard decision
Break it before it breaks you
I want it more than you, but
Your closer to me now
Your closer to me now
I cant decide
You will deride
A cloud has gathered
But its not raining just yet
Break it before it breaks you
I want it more than you, but
Your closer to me now
Your closer to me now
Where you look away for fear for it
One thing songs wont fix or escape detection
Time has made fools of trillions
If a sane person would make the hard decision
Break it before it breaks you
I want it more than you, but
Your closer to me now
Your closer to me now
Your closer to me now
Your closer to me now
Your closer to me now
Your closer to me now

Dance Of Darkness
06:45
|
|
||
|
On the fringe of nothing
Scared not a single iota
I could take an eternity
To reconsider the proposal
Could I
Should I
Lift the stone up
Could I
Should I
Dance with darkness
Throwing down pieces just to pick up
On the brink of something
Spared not a finger is lifted
I would make it shame to go see
Or remember it the big problem
Could I
Should I
Lift the stone up
Could I
Should I
Dance with darkness
Dance with darkness
Throwing down pieces just to pick up
