| Styx – Heavy Metal Poisoning Lyrics | 18 years ago |

This song is a sarcastic comment. It is song by "Dr. Righteous" an anti-rock activist in the story for the album "Kilroy was here." In the official video released with Kilroy Was Here, you see Dr. Righteous singing, as if he was one of those TV Evangelists, who preach on TV. During it, he takes a kid who obviously likes rock, and pulls him on stage with the help of who appear to be the kid's parents. He then starts to get rid of the kid's rock clothes and such to make the kid more moral, but before he can finish, another person comes in with a pair of guitars, he gives one to the kid and they proceed to rock out before being chased away by Dr. Righteous's guards. |

| Styx – Mr. Roboto Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
The album came with a story, which can be found here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilroy_Was_Here_(album) The song Mr. Roboto is about the first meeting between Robert Orin Kilroy and Johnathan Chance, at the former Paradise theater. Keep in mind, this song is song by Kilroy himself. "My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain I.B.M." TO me, this line refers to the brainwashing that Kilroy underwent while in prison, watching Dr. Righteous preach. His heart is indeed human, and his blood boils with anger, and his brain was being programed like a computer. The sixth and seventh stanzas refer to Robots and machines in general, and how they do all the jobs no one wants to do, but at the same time, take the needed jobs. It seems to be almost a sarcastic thanking when you take the whole album into consideration. The stanzas before 6 and 7 are basically Kilroy trying to convince Johnathan Chance of what and who he is. The final stanza is when Kilroy removes the Roboto mask to show his real face. http://youtube.com/watch?v=o4Ct4Iy-TFw Here is the official video that was released with others that coincide with the album. |
