Lyrics

Rise Of The Robots

[Intro]

A nerd is someone whose life is focused on computers and technology

But a geek is someone whose life is focused on computers and  technology and likes it that way

[Verse: Messinian]

Ghost In The Shell, current and circuits of hell

Nanotechnology, lobotomy against and rebel

An army of evil servants attempting an insurgence

Brainwashing in their machine, I'm a disturbance

[Chorus: Messinian]

Can't stop the power of hard pumping, devouring

Kilohertz, sensonics, destroying systems empowering

Real to the touch, humanity in their clutch

Red dots, liquor shots and the rise of the robots

[Drop]

Yeah

Liquor shots and the rise of these robots

Yeah

Liquor shots and the rise of these robots

[Chorus: Messinian]

Ye-ye-yeah, can't stop the power of hard pumping, devouring

Kilohertz, sensonics, destroying systems empowering

Real to the touch, humanity in their clutch

Red dots, liquor shots and the rise of the robots

[Drop]

Yeah

Liquor shots and the rise of these robots

Yeah

Liquor shots and the rise of these robots
