James Law - Mercury lyrics

State of the art Carbon copy drone Same as the next Clone of a clone We are building our hive Unknown command Didn't recognize Am i obsolete? A faulty design Fallen by the wayside Throw me away Off to the pound But don't pull the plug Please don't shut me down I am not prepared to die This machine is alive Are we living beings Or ghosts inside machines? Day in, day out Push and pull to reach the top Put your money to your mouth Dog eat dog or feed the lot Jump the line, not the gun Bite the bullet, take the shot Don't look back, what's done is done You can never beat the clock Are we living beings Or ghosts inside machines? Beat about the burning bush Fan the fire but i'm no liar Sure as hell there's more to tell Than the sum of all you see What you read between the lines Sure is no concern of mine But in the vault i feel unsafe Bound to make a big escape Are we living beings Or ghosts inside machines? Fading batteries With blood like mercury
