about

Classic high-school showdown between man and machine.
It all ends tonight.

lyrics

Well I meet my love out behind the school
We let no one know ‘cause we’re no fool
If I was born machine I’d be okay
But I’m a human being so there’s no way
To show the brave new world’s society
This electromagnetic love in me
I’m just heart and soul not hardened steel
But I know what it means to really feel

CHORUS:
Robot robot robot versus boy
They separate our friends
The battle never ends
Robot robot robot must destroy
It started with a kiss
Now it all comes down to this

It stood seven feet tall and made of chrom
I was shocked surprised and all alone
I used my best excuse it didn’t give a damn
'Cos we were caught in 3D on security cam
It said I know you’re fragile but you crossed the line
You should’ve stayed with yours and kept away from mine
I said I’ll meet you down at the football field
It said I’ll see you there and my fate was sealed

CHORUS

Time and time again I could have listened to my friends
Who told me no
But blood is always moving and despite the disapproving
Here I go

We faced each other underneath the moon
I would’ve walked away but now there wasn’t room
There was a crowd of people and automatons
To see the flesh and metal get it on
Then I swallowed hard said I don’t wanna fight
But you bully my kind and it ends tonight
I said I may be fragile but I got no doubt
I’m gonna power you down and take you out

CHORUS FADE
