Citizens Of Tomorrow Lyrics - A Lesson In Crime - Tokyo Police Club

No we can't 

See the ruins of the old world below 

That's what our ancestors left us 

Our robot masters will know 

How to clean this mess up and build a better world 

For man and machine alike 

For the boys and the girls 

Who are slaves building spaceships at night 

In the fluorescent light, that's 2009 

No we can't 

No we won't 

No we can't 

No we won't 

On cold frosty Martian mornings 

The chill on my breath is red 

Redder than my mother's blood 

When she turned to me and said 

This is not how we planned it 

But we've gotten ahead of ourselves 

Computers rule the planet 

And the moon and mars as well 

We lost the fight, that's 2009 

I have a microchip implanted in my heart 

So if I try to escape the robots will blow me apart 

And my limbs will go flying 

And land before the ones that I love 

Who would wail and would weep 

But the robots would keep them at bay 

While I shut my eyes for the very last time 

Citizens of tomorrow be forewarned
