INTRO
See the ruins of the old world below
That's what our ancestors left us.
Our robot masters will know
How to clean this mess up
And build a better world
For man and machine alike
For the boys and the girls
Who are slaves building spaceships at night
In the fluorescent light.
That's 2009.

                                  No we can't, No we won't, No we can't
  No we won't

VERSE
On cold frosty Martian mornings  The chill on my breath is red
Redder than my mother's blood    When she turned to me and said

This is not how we planned it    But we've gotten ahead of ourselves
Computers rule the planet         And the moon and mars as well

OUTRO
I have a microchip
Implanted in my heart
So if I try to escape
The robots will blow me apart
And my limbs will go flying
And land before the ones that I love
Who would wail and would weep
But the robots would keep them at bay
While I shut my eyes
For the very last time.
Citizens of tomorrow be forewarned.
