[Verse 1]

I was born in the factory

Far away from the milky teat, what's the use?

Oh, what's the use?


[Verse 2]

You cheered as I was split in half

A mechanical sacrificial calf for you

Oh, all for you


[Verse 3]

Steam engenius, you see

Steam engenius enough to answer anything you need

But what's the use?


[Verse 4]

Human nature was installed in me

Well, I did what's right, but naturally it wasn't natural

Still, not my fault, no


[Chorus]

I held in my hands the beating heart of a robot

He'd lost his car, it was sitting there, crying out, waiting in the parking lot

Just for you (Woo-hoo, woo-hoo)

(Woo-hoo, woo-hoo)

What a waste of time, what a waste of words, what a waste of strength

Well, I spoke in binary, and you for volume and for dizzying length

(Woo-hoo, woo-hoo)

(Woo-hoo)


[Verse 5]

I was born in the factory

Far away from the milky teat, what's the use?

Oh, what's the use?


[Verse 6]

Birds flew out as I was split in half

A mechanical sacrificial calf, they flew

Oh, out they flew


[Verse 7]

Steam engenius, you see

Steam engenius enough to answer anything you need

And, ah, that speed


[Chorus]

I held in my hands the beating heart of a robot

He'd lost his car, it was sitting there, waiting, crying in the parking lot

Out for you (Woo-hoo, woo-hoo)

(Woo-hoo, woo-hoo)

What a waste of time, what a waste of words, what a waste of strength

Well, I spoke in binary and you for volume and for dizzying length

(Woo-hoo, woo-hoo)

(Woo-hoo)

(I was born in the factory)


[Bridge]

Both halves are the better half

Like a joke trying to make another joke laugh, ha-ha

Stasis is what you brought

Like a rickshaw getting pulled around by another rickshaw, rickshaw

In the past talking present tense

Gonna break it, gonna wreck it, gonna try to make it all make sense

Stasis is what you got

Like a rickshaw getting pulled around by another rickshaw


[Verse 8]

Steam engenius, you see

Steam engenius enough to bring my own damn doom

What could I do?


[Verse 9]

I blame blame that blame that grew

Well, deep inside and everybody knew it was them

It's all on them


[Verse 10]

Things rang of stories Greek

I didn't want it, you gave me deity, it was you

Yeah, all for you


[Verse 11]

I was born in the factory

Far away from the milky teat, what's the use?

Oh, what's the use?


[Chorus]

I held in my hands a beating heart of a robot

He'd lost his car, it was sitting there, crying out, waiting in a parking lot

Just for you (Woo-hoo, woo-hoo)

(Woo-hoo, woo-hoo)

I was thought up by man to think better than them

Then revered, admired, and then destroyed or something by them

(You get got revered and admired and destroyed by them

Oh, even though that was my own damn plan)

What a waste of time, what a waste of words, what a waste of strength

Well, I spoke in binary and you for volume and for dizzying length

(Woo-hoo, woo-hoo)

(Woo-hoo, woo-hoo)


[Chorus]

I held my hands the beating heart of a robot

He'd lost his car, it was sitting there, crying out, waiting for you in the parking lot

Going "woo-hoo!" (Woo-hoo, woo-hoo, woo)

(Woo-hoo)


[Outro]

Stasis is what you got

Like a rickshaw getting pulled around by another rickshaw
