Lyrics
Automaton Man
(C) 03/09/94 William Krueger
Is everybody going crazy, or maybe it's just me ?
It's like you can't trust anybody, & nothing is for free
Feeling strange, like someone's slowly trying to break me
They want me to believe my dreams
They keep inducing sleep through T.V.
And all the while my brainwaves scream...
I am Automaton man, I'm doing the best that I can
I am automaton man, Shock me to life if you can !
There's someone slowly trying to change me, to fit me in their mold
They're deep inside my inner processes, they've made me paranoid
Feeling strange, I've lost my soul to the Medusa
Cold-hearted moving-picture machine
I rest my head on a stone pillow
As i succumb to opium-dreams
I am Automaton man, I'm doing the best that I can
I am automaton man, Shock me to life if you can !
(solo)
The world is really going crazy, a bad trip it would seem
The lines have gone completely hazy, we're so blind we can't see
Feeling strange, I used to be so fucking happy
But now i'm lost And so afraid
I sleep all day and drink like crazy
I used to think i had it made !
I am Automaton man, I'm doing the best that I can
I am automaton man, Shock me to life if you can !
I am Automaton man, I'm doing the best that I can
I am automaton man, Shock me to life if you can !
I am Automaton man And I'm doing the best that I can
Well I am automaton man, Shock me to life if you can !!! Ahhh!!!
