Citizens Of Tomorrow

(No we can't)
 See the ruins of the old world below
 That's what our ancestors left us.
 Our robot masters will know
 How to clean this mess up
 And build a better world
 For man and machine alike
 For the boys and the girls
 Who are slaves building spaceships at night
 In the fluorescent light.
 That's 2009.
 (No we can't, No we won't, No we can't, No we won't)
 On cold frosty Martian mornings
 The chill on my breath is red
 Redder than my mother's blood
 When she turned to me and said
 "This is not how we planned it
 But we've gotten ahead of ourselves
 Computers rule the planet
 And the moon and mars as well
 We lost the fight"
 That's 2009.
 I have a microchip
 Implanted in my heart
 So if I try to escape
 The robots will blow me apart
 And my limbs will go flying
 And land before the ones that I love
 Who would wail and would weep
 But the robots would keep them at bay
 While I shut my eyes
 For the very last time.
 Citizens of tomorrow be forewarned.
