ROBOT LUNCH
[From 2004 "The Great 11th Act" album]

Get an open invitation to the great robotic age
Buy a hyper-speed connection
Show the world your web page
Set the timer on your oven
You have places to go
Take the twenty-hour crash course:
High school, starve through college
Skip baptism under stones

Now you’re digging robot lunch
Now you’re eating your robot lunch
Robot Lunch

Ride a flight of escalators
Have your cocktails by nine
Place all your eggs in incubators
You’ll have kids in no time
Below the streets the pistons pumping
to a metronomic beat
Have your automatic waitor
bring you breakfast to eat

Keep on eating robot lunch
Keep on eating robot lunch
Robot Lunch

Tour the world for twenty dollars
through your fiber-optic eyes
Punch your seven-digit numbers
for a mail-order bride
Let the lasers do your lashes
Let the cyborgs paint your nails
Let the diodes tone your muscles
while machines project your sales
