lyrics

Come to us single file.
We'll assign you your special role.
One million more compiled and...
...The rest go in the hole.

Every man, woman & child
Better do just as your told.
Or we'll feed you to the machine and...
...That's a monster that's never ever full.

Be sure to never speak your mind
If it's not in your description.
Or soon enough the sirens cry and...
...You're sure to come up missin'.

Creativity, is hard to find
In a land where no one listens.
It's in the rules you're sure to die if...
...Your actions aren't sufficient.

Am I so ordinary?
Why won't anyone come near me?
Am I so ordinary?
The machine's red eyes keep glarin' on.
They're burnin' deep into me.
I feel them... I feel them...
I feel that now I know
No one's comin' for me, comin' for me.
So salutations, salutations,
Salutations sincerely...

Yet another mind in line
Defeaned by the roars surrounding.
The conveyer belt pulls them side to side as...
...All their hearts start loudly pounding.

"Everybody gather 'round it's time!"
The overhead echos loudly.
It's the machine's hour to dine. Then...
...the alarm, it started sounding.

Am I so ordinary?
Why won't anyone come near me?
Am I so ordinary?
The machine's red eyes keep glarin' on.
They're burnin' deep into me.
I feel them... I feel them...
I feel that now I know
No one's comin' for me, comin' for me.
So salutations, salutations,
Salutations sincerely...
