[Intro x2]
Typing word by word
That’s how robots work
Walking step by step
Trying to forget
Dying day by day
Throwing life away
Bodies grave by grave
In the empire state

[Verse 1]
Robot - noun, people who work all day and all night,
Can be found in glass-walled office, serving the high
Now that’s the only way how we should be.
City – noun, place where these people live together
Trying to succeed without care ‘bout each other,
Acting like not seeing humanoids.

[Pre-Chorus]
Why-oh-why do we have to live in our office?
When-oh-when did people turn into mad donkeys?
And when will this era end? (yeah!)

[Chorus]
I’m living in a city full of selfish monsters
Walking on my feet, pushing me, fucking gangsters
And they never say: excuse me
They’re living alone and unhappily

[Intro]
Typing word by word
That’s how robots work
Walking step by step
Trying to forget
Dying day by day
Throwing life away
Bodies grave by grave
In the empire state

[Verse 2]
Metro – noun, thing that robots always travel with,
In big crowds, hating everyone else, pathetic.
I am getting tired of underground
To live – verb, something that we should have kept doing,
And stop being such unrelieved working machines
In the cities I can hear the steel’s sound.

[Pre-Chorus]
Why-oh-why do we have to work more than we sleep?
When-oh-when did humanity sink so damn deep?
And when will this era end? (yeah!)

[Chorus]
I’m living in a city full of selfish monsters
Walking on my feet, pushing me, fucking gangsters
And they never say: excuse me
They’re living alone and unhappily.

[Bridge (nestee) Rap]
For God’s sake, just stop for one minute
Put down that pen and think a little bit
When did mankind sink so fucking deep?
Being strangers is what we really need?
Souls sold, in the top 10 on iDie
But the one we need is the “I mind”
And I try, I try to escape like Wentworth Miller
But this world swallowed me, and I won’t thank later.
The beat of life runs away, look at my pacemaker
Save the Earth from dying and be a risk taker
I’m here, I see it too, but don’t ask the reason why
Society burns in post-modern suicide
We search joy in vain, no satisfaction at all,
A power plant makes only reaction, so enjoy
When our dreams about happiness blew up in a squall
The hope started dying behind this fucking wall
And you’re stuck, you’re fucked, you have broken
All the troubles of us are unspoken
Sometimes I wonder if people just overlook
There’s no doubt, everything’s misunderstood
We made it, we carried on, we can’t stop it now,
At the end of the day we’ll wanna realize how
We keep doing this shit like fucking idiots
How can we still live in the city of robots?

[Chorus x2]
I’m living in a city full of selfish monsters
Walking on my feet, pushing me, fucking gangsters
And they never say: excuse me
They’re living alone and unhappily.
