Citizens of Tomorrow

But the robots would keep them at bay

No we can't
Computers rule the planet
For man and machine alike
We lost the fight, that's 2009

And the moon and mars as well
The chill on my breath is red
And land before the ones that I love
No we can't

No we won't
Our robot masters will know
For the boys and the girls
See the ruins of the old world below
On cold frosty Martian mornings
And my limbs will go flying

But we've gotten ahead of ourselves
So if I try to escape the robots will blow me apart
While I shut my eyes for the very last time
How to clean this mess up and build a better world
Who would wail and would weep
No we won't
I have a microchip implanted in my heart
That's what our ancestors left us
When she turned to me and said
This is not how we planned it
In the fluorescent light, that's 2009

Who are slaves building spaceships at night
Redder than my mother's blood
