Lyrics
I see you moving the pieces in your ivory tower
I observe you manipulating situations from a privileged position.
Spread myself around like buckshot
I distribute myself widely, like scattering buckshot.
Get my mask on down by the water cooler
I put on a false persona near the water cooler to fit in.
Because I gotta get what you got
I'm driven by a desire to acquire what you possess.
You take the sun out of my sky
Your actions negatively affect my happiness or well-being.
Fixin' my smile like a cheerleading mascot
I mask my true feelings, pretending to be cheerful like a mascot.
And I ain't got the sense to ask why
Despite my lack of understanding, I don't question why.
I don't compute on my own I'm just a good little robot
I lack independent thought; I function as a compliant robot.
I got things to do man, you know I got goals
I have tasks and goals to achieve, driven by ambition.
And there's nothing to stop me, no way of holding me back
There are no obstacles preventing me from progressing.
Stuck a pin in my morals but I still got soul
My morals are compromised, but I retain a sense of self.
And my best friend Mr. Prozac
I rely on the antidepressant Prozac for support.
Gotta keep climbing up that totem pole
I strive to climb the social hierarchy.
Cause I wanna be a have and not a have not
I aim to be successful and not deprived.
So I'll be that hand in the glove that endless resource that you love
I'll be the indispensable resource you appreciate.
Mould me, bend me, shape me, set me, oh yeah I'm a good little robot
I am willing to be molded and shaped for your approval.
So feel free to keep washing my brain
You can continue influencing and controlling my thoughts.
And I'll keep on getting my feet wet
I'll adapt to new situations willingly.
Just save me a seat on your gravy train
Allow me a place in your prosperous endeavors.
An I'll keep on tweaking my mindset
I'll continue adjusting my mindset for success.
And I'm betting that reaching the top, will make me complete
Believing that reaching the top will bring fulfillment.
So keep stacking your bullshit I'll keep taking the lot
I'll accept and internalize all your falsehoods.
And I don't believe in your Karma I'm all about self-deceit
I reject the concept of karma and embrace self-deception.
And diamonds are made under pressure so a gotta be a good little robot.
I acknowledge the pressure and challenges but strive to conform.
But there's just one thing that you should know
Despite my compliance, there's a flaw in my programming.
I got a bug in my programme, a fault in my OS
A technical issue or corruption exists in my operating system.
Just one line of syntax, a tiny corruption
A small error or glitch caused by an external influence.
Somebody got in through the backdoor and fucked up my process
An unauthorized entry disrupted my functioning.
See I'd rather be my own king than your disposable pawn
I prefer to be independent rather than a disposable pawn.
Breakdown or breakthrough time will tell what hand I got
Uncertain whether this is a moment of crisis or breakthrough.
So fuck you and the horse that you rode in on
An expression of disdain and rejection towards authority.
I've paid my dues, I see through your ruse so muthafuck your good little robot
I've faced challenges and can see through deceptive tactics.
Yo and while I'm at it
An additional expression of defiance and rejection.
Fuck your blue sky thinking
Disapproval of optimistic and idealistic thinking.
Fuck your Monday conference call
Rejecting mundane and routine corporate activities.
Fuck your glide path
Rejecting a planned and predictable path to success.
Fuck your stakeholder engagement
Dismissing efforts to engage with stakeholders.
Fuck your thinking outside of the box
Rejecting unconventional or creative thinking.
Fuck lifting the drains
Dismissing efforts to improve or innovate.
Run that up the flagpole
A dismissive remark about suggesting ideas for consideration.
Pivot on this motherfucker
Rejecting a significant change or shift in direction.
Fuck you I'm out
A final declaration of departure and defiance.
