A song about how we are building machines that will rise up and kill us. I think there's a film about it or something...

lyrics

It's our job to build machines
to take our jobs to build machines
I've seen terminator 10 times
I know what this means
it might be a hundred years
before we realise our mistakes
but by then it's gonna be too late

Sometimes we like to think that we control our lives
that couldn't be further from true
there's men above with strings they pull
so we dance in a room (with no fourth wall)

Bringing up the perfect past,
in perfect harmony
deus ex machina in a closing scene
cue applause and laugh tracks
keep your eyes glued to the screen
blink and you might miss the whole thing

In my head
in my head
its not real
no, it can't be
in my head
just in my head
no it can't just in my head

It's our job to build machines to take our jobs to build machines
that take it all upon their shoulders to pull down our dreams
its our job to build machines up, its our job to build machines
if you don't know now what this means...
