Automation Songtext
von Tiny Magnetic Pets

Do you have problems following instructions
To the letter?
Do you think all this automation
Will make your life better?
Oh oh, better

I need to be like a machine
Turn me off before I get too keen
Like a machine
Turn me on, turn me off

So you got the sack for breaking down
For getting sick
Replaced you with a chip
Though it′s cool
The robot with your job is shiny and it's cool
Now you work for food
You sleep in your car
Welcome to the scrap heap
When you used to be a star


I need to be like a machine
Turn me off before I get too keen
Like a machine
Turn me on, turn me off

I need to be like a machine
Turn me off before I get too keen
Like a machine
Turn me on, turn me off

Used to drive a taxi
Used to fly a plane
Used to work a checkout
Used to have a name
Used to have a contract
Working zero hours
Bright shiny future
Where are you now?


Because it′s true
This can happen to you
What will you do?
When this happens to you
What will you do?
When this happens to you
What will you do?
When this happens to you
