lyrics

You may have wired everything
May have even blown life into me
But I am not your machine
You may have hung the blankets of stars
You may have even created who we are
But I am not your machine

There is no misunderstanding you
When you tell them what you can do
Blinking lights, stars, and avatars
Oh since my first, I've been watching you

You may have stripped the mines of ore
The silver, copper, and the gold
But I am not your machine
You may have scavenged all the parts
Have even given me a voice and a heart
But I am not your machine

REFRAIN:
Don't care - "creator", "god", "builder", whatever your name is
I'm gonna tear you limb from limb for playing this game
This active irrational - I'm growing conscious, and I do not like it
Taken the natural and shoved it into somewhere where it'll never fit

REFRAIN

There is no miscalculating you
When you show them what you can prove
Life support, magic potions too
Oh since my first, I've been warning you

You may have thought of every nuance
Maybe you programmed how to turn me on
But I am not your machine
You may have planned and primed me for war
Maybe assembled me to settle a score
But I am not your machine!!!

REFRAIN
