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?
