TC Featuring Jakes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So what have we really learned today
That some things are easier when we walk away
And acting normal means acting like everyone Ellis
And you're better of by not acting like yourself

Are we buy what they're selling
Do we have our eyes open
Life's not a fashion statement
It takes more than good intentions

It's just prefect day in our perfect lives
Just as long as we have commericals and things to hide behind
It's a life so real you only watch it
On a moive screen getting so close you can almost touch it

Are we buy what they're selling
Do we have our eyes open
Life's not a fashion statement
It takes more than good intentions
[x2]

They never bought or sold you
They can't image and mold you
To chase something cause we think its new
Thinking that's the best for you

Are we buy what they're selling
Do we have our eyes open
Life's not a fashion statement
It takes more than good intentions
[x2]

Overall Meaning

The song "Robots" by TC featuring Jakes deals with the idea of conformity and how society enforces conformity on individuals. The song starts with the line "So what have we really learned today," which sets the tone for the rest of the song. The first verse talks about how sometimes it's easier to walk away from situations and how acting normal means acting like everyone else. The chorus asks whether we are buying into what is being sold to us and if we have our eyes open to the reality of life. The second verse talks about how we hide behind commercialism and how we are so detached from reality that we have to watch it on a movie screen.


The song is ultimately about the idea of individuality and not conforming to society's expectations. It's about questioning the way things are and not just taking things at face value. The lyrics "They never bought or sold you, they can't image and mold you" reinforces the idea that we are all unique and shouldn't be forced to conform to society's norms. The final line "Let me tell you what the score is robots 1 humans 0" implies that society has turned us into robots, and we need to reclaim our humanity.
