La-da-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da, la-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da-da
A brain of circuitry
I feel the sparks enter me
I put my hand to my heart
I might be missin' some parts
My pulse, a steady hum
My chest, a beatless drum
I wake up only to see
I breathe electricity
Oh, am I alive anymore?
Was there even a before?
Oh, were these parts always my own?
Or am I only a clone?
A sea of endless drones
Surrounded by the crowd, but I feel alone
Marchin' on along like we're made for war
Who am I, what am I made here for?
My feet controlled by intangible force
An inexplainable source
But I must follow its course
Around the clock
We never stop
Watched like a hawk
He's standin' there at the top
No sweat, just shop
No thought, livestock
We're just his flock
Imprisoned without a lock
Oh, you knew the risks and agreed
Success was not guaranteed
Oh, it's what my research entails
You'll work for me if it fails
Stop this, we're cryin' for release
'Cause pain still comes with consciousness, I'm beggin' you please
Have mercy on the mangled minds of subjects who've fallen
If saving comes with slaving then whose sins are more rotten?
Take a long look at all these figures all around you
(La-da-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da, la-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da-da)
Do I look troubled by the tasks you have to do?
(La-da-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da, la-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da-da)
Break out, run fast when the sirens blast
We need to get out with our lives before the time has passed
He can't control us if we fight against our code en masse
There's still a part of you that's fighting back below the mask
We're not just robots, we were people tryin' to live our lives
We took the gamble, left in shambles when we won no prize
Behind your eyes still lives the person who had died inside
He brought it back and now we're workin' for his enterprise
A revolution underground
We're screamin' out but make no sound
I feel a shock, and I fall down
I look around, we're on the ground
The exit doors all come to a close
As we lay motionless along the ground
Our circuits have frozen
This whole resurrected life is not the life we had chosen
But my hope is not all lost if someone outside here knows it
So I send a message out before the final door closes
Through a signal send an SOS to those not enclosed
In this nightmare
