Lyrics for Song: Man Vs Machine
Lyrics for Album: I Am the West [2010]
[Intro:]
Yo, we in a fight for our lives
we in a fight for our lives
and the trick thing about it
i don't know if we can win
and what's sad? i don't thing we WANNA win
[Verse 1:]
can you help me? a nigga need a job
i'm desperate, for some corn on the cob
i'm helpless, will i have to steal and rob?
no black? dinner so i got to ask bob
bob got a job but it's done by a robot
no lunch breaks so it could do a whole lot
more than a human being and it's European,
ran by a Korean, American,
so there I am, surrounded by aluminum
there's no way you can run,
there's no way you can be,
it's just and me, versus modern day machinery
[Chorus x2:]
it's man vs machine baby
my head's in the guillotine baby
it might take it off clean baby
automated dreams it was man vs machine baby
[Verse 2:]
I'm a fly caught in the web
a fish stuck in the internet
don't they know i'm a deathly catch?
eat this meat, every bite so full of stress
so what can I say to you?
i'm highly relatable and biodegradable
i thought we was unfadeable
slaves to machinery, is that the way to go?
i don't need you to fuck 24/7
i guess that computer love
i don't need you to love
human contact ain't what it used to was
[Chorus x2:]
it's man vs machine baby
my head's in the guillotine baby
it might take it off clean baby
automated dreams it was man vs machine baby
[Outro x2:]
the whole world is automated
it need to be investigated
when people are eliminated
what we supposed to do when its time to feed all the babies?
