lyrics

Never really got how we went from Margaret to Peggy,
Never really got why I only hear the cars at night,
And it really sounds like the inside of my body
Churning,
Turning into a machine

Never really got how we went from Muppets to madness,
Never really clocked when it got so out of hand,
And I really thought we would have some understanding,
No go,
It shows how programmed we’re to be

So press 1 when you think that,
You, too, cannot disagree,
Press 3 when you don’t think the same
(but don’t say you don’t think the same, you’re a machine)

Press 1 when you think that,
You, too, cannot disagree,
Press 3 when you don’t think the same
(but don’t say you don’t think the same, you’re a machine)

Who’s gonna cross the line?
And are we splitting the win?
Who’s gonna cross the line?
And are we splittin’?

Never really got why high heeled sneakers started trending,
Never really made sense why I put my tongue on hold,
And it really feels like the molding of my body,
Cleaning,
Screening out options of control

So press 1 when you think that,
You, too, cannot disagree,
Press 3 when you don’t think the same
(but don’t say you don’t think the same, you’re a machine)

Press 1 when you think that,
You, too, cannot disagree,
Press 3 when you don’t think the same
(but don’t say you don’t think the same, you’re a machine)

Who’s gonna cross the line?
And are we splitting the win?
Who’s gonna cross the line?
And are we splittin’?

Made of metal,
Forced to settle for the common ground

So press 1 when you think that,
You, too, cannot disagree,
Press 3 when you don’t think the same
(but don’t say you don’t think the same, you’re a machine)
Press 1 when you think that,
You, too, cannot disagree,
Press 3 when you don’t think the same
(but don’t say you don’t think the same, you’re a machine)

Made of metal,
Forced to settle for the common
Made of metal,
Forced to settle for the common

Who’s gonna cross the line
And are we splitting the win?
Who’s gonna -
Who’s gonna cross the line and are we splitting?

Who’s gonna cross the line
And are we splitting the win?
Who’s gonna -
Who’s gonna cross the line and are we splitting?
