They’re not going to make me
No No No
Well quarter past two and I’m right on cue and I’ll take you to the inhuman view
Join the queue with the robotic crew, downloaded, corrupted truths
From the cradle to the grave, tick boxes, filling charts, they’re gonna make you
Android
That’s what they’re making me
Android
That’s what they’re making you
Android
This unit don’t want batteries
Android
This unit don’t want batteries
No!
So synchronized, lobotomized, regimes of continual cycles
Run the programme, use the template
Pre-determined functions
Metal hearts to cold mean arts
Brainwashed, replaceable parts
They’re gonna make you
Android
That’s what they’re making me
Android
That’s what they’re making you
Android
This unit don’t want batteries
Android
This unit don’t want batteries
No!
Automated, cybernetic
Another zombie on the profit cull
Rationalized and institutionalized
Another complicit conscious-less crime
Following orders to fixed borders
Flick the switch
Another software glitch
They’re gonna make you
Android
That’s what they’re making me
Android
That’s what they’re making you
Android
This unit don’t want batteries
Android
This unit don’t want batteries
Android
That’s what they’re making me
Android
That’s what they’re making you
Android
This unit don’t want batteries
Android
This unit don’t want batteries
No!

I’m a refuse creator in the shadow factory
A hopeful expector in the sea of the angry
And the fish that glow in that sea
They don’t seem too healthy to me
I’m a refuse creator
I’m a refuse creator
In the shadow factory
Because
We don’t need these things at all
We don’t need these things at all
Did nature nurture us to kill and destroy
To tarmac up lawn and to tarmac up forest
Those concrete fields that are growing there
They don’t seem too healthy to me
I’m a refuse creator
I’m a refuse creator
In the shadow factory
Because
We don’t need these things at all
We don’t need these things at all
Endless churning smoke in the air
I’m a refuse creator just living my life
But if everyone else is living this way
That don’t seem too healthy to me
I’m a refuse creator
I’m a refuse creator
In the shadow factory
One day I had a dream
I was sitting in a tree
Then one day this ape awoke
To find he was never never free
I’m climbing up that tree
Just climbing to get away
Because
We don’t need these things at all
We don’t need these things at all
We don’t need these things at all
We don’t need these things at all

Detritus
They’re so full of it
Dissection of the human abattoir
Consumer, consuming with an alibi
Delusions, and pathetic pride
Yes
It’s a landfill
A mountain rise
Detritus
Bandwidth filled
A cardiac deficit
Such tearless eyes
From a steely gaze
Expedient, expedient to market wills
Such cheap thrills and expensive spills
Yes
It’s a landfill
A mountain rise
Detritus
Bandwidth filled
On a plastic island
In a lifeless sea
With Doctor Death and Sister Hell
Illusions, on their paths to fool’s gold
Confusion – cognitive dissonance
Consumer consuming with their alibis
Bye-Bye
Collusion and pathetic pride.
Yes
It’s a landfill
A mountain rise
Detritus
Bandwidth filled
On a plastic island
In a lifeless sea
With Doctor Death and Sister Hell

Shopping precinct maniac
Fools, tools, yeah, you gotta love it
Costly comfort home, no choice
Push pull yeah you gotta buy it
What will they think of next?
What next!
Colour co-ordinated toilet paper
What will they think of next?
What next!
Genome creature shapers
Plastic instincts burn
Bureaucratic maze with no escape skit
Manufacture culture dream
No voice yeah you gotta stick it
What will they think of next?
What next!
Plastic palm tree extravaganza
What will they think of next?
What next!
Heavenly clouds of a chemical vapours
Cardboard cut-out centrefold
Ladder climber no you’re never higher
Where’s the limit to your scene?
Someday yeah you’re gonna find it
What will they think of next?
What next!
Distanciated violence makers
What will they think of next?
What next!
Disk driven communication
What will they think of
What will they think of
What will they think of
Next, Next, Next
Maniacal machines of death
Extinction and exploitation
Finite resources squander
No voice species to the slaughter
What will they think of next?
What next!
Concrete trees on a tarmac tundra
What will they think of next?
What next!
Plastic life evolution
Space Age Expectation
