Steam Engenius

I was born in a factory.
Far away from the milky teat.
What's the use?
Oh, what's the use?

You cheered as I was split in half.
A mechanical, sacrificial calf for you.
Oh, all for you.

Steam engenius you see?
Steam engenius enough to answer anything you need.
But what's the use?

Human nature was installed in me.
Well I did what's right, but naturally it wasn't natural.
Still not my fault.
No.

I held in my hands the beating heart of a robot.
He lost his car, it was sitting there crying out, waiting in the parking lot just for you.
What a waste of time, what a waste of words, what a waste of strength.
Well I spoke in binary and you for volume and for dizzying length.

Oh, what's the use?

Birds flew out as I was split in half.
A mechanical, sacrificial calf they flew.
Oh, out they flew.

Steam engenius to see.
Steam engenius enough to answer anything you need.
And all that speed.

I held in my hands the beating heart of a robot.
He lost his car it was sitting there waiting out, in the parking lot out for you.
What a waste of time, what a waste of words, what a waste of strength.
Well I spoke in binary and you for volume and for dizzying length.

Both halves are the better half. Like a joke trying to make another joke laugh. Ha ha.

Stasis is what you brought, like a rickshaw getting pulled around by another rickshaw, rickshaw.

In the past talking present tense.
Gonna break it, gonna wreck it, gonna try to make it all make sense.

Stasis is what you got, like a rickshaw getting pulled around by another rickshaw.

Steam engenius ya see?
Steam engenius enough to bring my own damn doom.
What could I do?

I blame blame that blame had grew.
Well deep inside everybody knew it was them.
It's all on them.

Things rang of stories Greek.
I didn't want it! You gave me deity it was you.
Yeah, all for you.

Far away from the milky teat.
What's the use?
Oh, what's the use?

I held in my hands the beating heart of a robot.
He'd lost his car, it was sitting there crying out, waiting in the parking lot just for you.

I was thought up by man to think better than them, then revered, admired, and then destroyed by them.

Ahh, even all that was my own damn plan.

Well, what a waste of time, what a waste of words, what a waste of strength. Well I spoke in binary and you for volume and for dizzying length.

I held in my hands the beating heart of a robot.
He lost his car, it was sitting there crying out waiting for you in the parking lot going whoo-hoo!

Stasis is what you got, like a rickshaw getting pulled around by another rickshaw.
