about

A song about robot prostitutes, pop music, and existentialism.

lyrics

They make us on assembly lines
for you to love...
Our skin is perfect and
our words are never rough
And when you're done with
us you can, throw us away
We'll decompose and we'll
return another day.


In my mind, I find I'm searching
Long to get away...
But we keep on singing, keep on dancing,
While you smile, away.

And we know
we live a fallacy
We're robots in bad faith.
And we wish our programming
allowed us to smash your
fucking face.

And we dance
And we learn to please you
And we dance
And you know we need you

They make us on assembly lines
for you to love...
The songs we sing are insincere,
But that's enough.
And when you're done with us
We're pleased to fade away.
And when you turn your back
we burn
to make you pay.

In my mind, I find I'm searching
Long to get away...
But we keep on singing, keep on dancing,
While you smile, away.

And we know
we live in fallacy
We're
Robots in bad faith.
And we wish our programming
allowed us to smash your
fucking face.

And we dance
And we learn to please you
And we dance
And you know we need you

And we dance
And we learn to please you
And we dance
And you know we belong to you.
