Mechanical, mechanical
They want our arms mechanical
Our fingers should be clinical, our faces be identical

Capital, capital
They want us to ensure it all
Give it all, give it all, our minds should remain gullible

They want us to be silent, silent, silent
They want us to be quiet, quiet, quiet

Fools, they want our hearts to beat and stop
And pump our blood by their
Rules, they want our minds to think we think
And be their mules
Fools, they want our hearts to be as pawns
For them to rule
They think we’re fools, they think we’re fools
They have us fooled

Mechanical, mechanical
They need our arms mechanical
Our fingers should be willingly, compliantly clinical

Capital, capital
They feed on their capital
Order, order, our minds should stay in order

They need us to be silent, silent, silent
They need us to be quiet, quiet, quiet

Fools, they want our hearts to beat and stop
And pump our blood by their
Rules, they want our minds to think we think
And be their mules
Fools, they want our hearts to be as pawns
For them to rule
They think we’re fools, they think we’re fools

(They think we’re) defects
‘Cause we do not conform
(They think we’re) flaws unchecked
‘Cause we do not implore
(They think we’ll) accept
The system they enforce
(But we’re not) defects
We’re people and we’re sore
So give us back what’s not yours

Fools, they want our hearts to beat and stop
And pump our blood by their
Rules, they want our minds to think we think
And be their mules
Fools, they want our hearts to be as pawns
For them to rule
They think we’re fools, they think we’re fools
They are fools
