I'm flesh and blood stretched over a steel frame I'm a simple program, broken record, bound and trained Two eyes stare straight but cannot see Kept alive but forbid to breathe A warning label, product harmful if ingested Herbicides, yellow fives, insecticides kill me from inside Created in laboratories, processed to death in factories This is where we split in two You'll grow fat and I'll stay hungry You'll pay attention too when the cross hair's lining up on you I renounce number and rank Tore them out Withdrew from the race, rewired Pulled it apart with these pliers The insides came unglued The eyes began to focus The lungs expanded with the truth These gifts you've given me too delicate to hold Never priced, scanned, bought or sold From the rooftops we can watch the fires burn When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?
