The children pick the labels before they speak
of pirate software of sex and of e
and mommy's with her
play-mate down on her knees
she's building a history
'cos her future's obsolete

in automation
automation
automation
evolution's hit rewind

the children pick the needles
to secure the creed
of the self and all self-pity breeds
the leaders of the countries
keep the skeletons safe
keep the streets full of
those who kill and rape

it's automation
automation
automation
evolution's hit rewind

the children pick the labels before they speak
of pirate software of sex and of e
and mommy's with her
play-mate down on her knees
she's building a history
'cos her future's obsolete

it's terrorist action channel one thru ten
just pray it lasts 'til christmas
watch those ratings kick in
or download salvation or porn or your feelings
don't worry about the phrasing
the spell-check is working

in automation
it's automation
it's automation
evolution's hit rewind
