Tiny Little Robots
Cage the Elephant Lyrics

They've got you movin' to the city
They have manipulated you into moving to the city.

Oh my, you think you're lookin' pretty
You may think you look good or trendy.

But they've got their pistols too
They are armed and ready to maintain control over you.

Tucked down beneath their shoe
The weapons are hidden, so you won't see them coming.

It's a new sensation
This is a new form of experience for you or the world.

World annihilation
The destruction of society or humanity is underway.

Moving to the music
You are being distracted and controlled by the music or entertainment.

Patiently it's waitin'
This manipulation and control is being done slowly and gradually.

The city's screamin'
The city is chaotic and unsettling.

I can hear them breathin'
You can feel the presence and influence of those in power.

Cryin' out for wisdom
People are searching for guidance and understanding.

Hungry minds are feedin'
People are easily influenced and manipulated due to their curiosity and desire for knowledge.

I know that you're tired of this
You may be exhausted or fed up with the current state of things.

Cause you're a robot
You are being controlled and manipulated like a machine.

They designed your life
Your experiences and environment have been carefully crafted and controlled by those in power.

But true souls said you know what's right
Those who are genuine and free from control know what is right for themselves and others.

And you can join us on the other side
You have the option to break free from the control and join those who resist and oppose it.

Are you scared? Are you scared? Are you scared?
Are you afraid of the consequences of resisting or opposing?

They've got you marching to a drum beat
You are being controlled and directed by a predefined rhythm or pattern.

Oh my you got another nose bleed
You may be experiencing physical harm or stress as a result of the control and manipulation.

They'll keep you so amused
They will distract and entertain you to maintain control and prevent resistance.

You'll never taste the truth
You will not have access to or be allowed to know the truth or reality of your situation.

It's a new creation
A new system or society is being created or established.

Total domination
Those in power seek complete control and domination over all aspects of life.

Chains across your shoulders
You are restricted and weighed down by the control and manipulation.

Social captivation
You are trapped or captivated by the social norms and expectations imposed upon you.

Kill our leaders
Those who resist or oppose may be targeted and eliminated by those in power.

Persecute our teachers
Those who are knowledgeable or influential may be oppressed or silenced by those in power.

Criticize our culture
Any dissent or questioning of the status quo may be met with criticism and punishment.

Crucify free thinkers
Those who challenge or question the control and manipulation may be subjected to severe consequences.

Fill our eyes with money
We are distracted and captivated by material wealth and possessions.

Vanity that's cunnin'
The obsession with appearance or status is manipulative and deceptive.

Only on the surface
This obsession and deception is only superficial and does not reflect true value or worth.

Diamonds look so stunnin'
Material wealth and possessions may appear impressive or enviable, but they are not truly fulfilling or worthwhile.

Mass deception
We are collectively and systematically manipulated and deceived.

Altered our perception
Our understanding and perspective of the world has been distorted and manipulated.

Sold it to the children
The control and manipulation is perpetuated and passed down to future generations.

Made a new connection
A new form of manipulation or control has been established.
