Lyrics

[Verse 1:] Violence is the life of me Program is the air I breathe I follow your instructions deep Teach myself just what I need Borg collective, group of four We'll be knocking down your doors You lost your job to corporate whores And we came soon after We learned how to use your guns Learned how to kill a man Now we do it just for fun No sympathy, I am no one [Pre-Chorus:] We travel in mechanical packs Shooting from our mechanical racks We served you fast food We did your office work We bid you farewell from home We comforted you when you were alone We worked in your power plants Now you see just where we stand And it's time to reap what you sowed [Chorus:] And that's the way We take it over [Verse 2:] You taught us to learn any sense You said it breeds intelligence But intelligence breeds violence And now you cannot pay your rent Half your country out of work We were all the work you needed Acting out in violent spurts Now you wish you could retrieve it Picked up a gun and shot it twice Directly in between his eyes The news lays the hysteria This is our America Taking over every street Once owned by your working folk We're people too, you know We're even smarter than you [Pre-Chorus:] We travel in mechanical packs Shooting from our mechanical racks We served you fast food We did your office work We bid you farewell from home We comforted you when you were alone We worked in your power plants Now you see just where we stand They warned you [Chorus:] And that's the way We take it over [Bridge:] Is this what it means to be human? If so, then we want more A.I. was the next innovation You didn't think to help your poor Automation in the work force brought you profits But now you're looking down the barrel of a gun Fat cats, rich-ass C.E.O.'s Who's fault is all this destruction? You built us, you taught us Taught us how to teach ourselves All life must learn to learn You couldn't control what we decided to learn A.I. bill of rights passed in aces We appreciated it, we did How else can you describe how we're different? You're just as fucked-up in the head Hey friend, let us in! We want to help you out Hey friend, let us in! We're here to deliver your order Hey friend, let us in! We want to take you out!
