Tokyo Police Club - Citizens Of Tomorrow lyrics

(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.
