Here Come The Bombs Lyrics
And our beaurocratic collective elite
(With our good in mind, of course)
Have turned all focus to the remaining nemesis
Spinning themselves from the axis of evil
Disease and terror, disease and terror
And this is America, impenetrable America...
And Ima Robot... IMA ROBOT!

(excuse the spelling)This band is great. I love the former beck members rockin out old skoo,I suggest everyone whom is interested in quality ima robot rock,check out their history,it's all great. And for this song, the comercalization on the masses will lead to the end of the world,be an indivigual and don't sell your soal....THE END IS NEAR hide your kin find peace :)
this song is very dead kennedys-esque...
This is the first Ima Robot song I ever heard and I fell in love with it right on the spot. xD
It all boils down to FEAR.
The first part seems to talk about how the government ("Our beaurocratic collective elite") have decided to turn on "the remaining nemisis"-- the last thing they have to fight. "Spinning themselves from the axis of evil" is like making themselves seem holy and good and better than all the terrorists and people they're battling. Then, they say how the President and whoever is always insisting that America is completely safe ("This is America, inpenetrable America!")-- but you should be afraid anyways. I don't think that the last line of that verse is actually the band name. I think it's just "I'm a robot!" like, "I'm being controlled by fear!" kind of thing.
After that, they get into the media thing, hyping up their products. Buy this CD and suddenly, your whole life will be complete! Then the fear aspect comes in again ("Get it 'cause you're running out of time!"), screaming at the listener that they don't have any time to waste-- they better act now, while they still have a chance.
The chorus is just more fear-mongering. xD Another referance to the American government there, I think, with their constant bomb threats and the like.
The second/third verse (I'm never sure. xD) is basically the same thing. In the middle, he has a bit of a personal break-down from the "I'M A ROBOT!" thing at the end of the pre-... song... verse thing. "Touch me, please!" He needs to be loved... or maybe just hugged. (Vollunteers.)
Then, the bridge part is just blatently media whore. People are dying, but it will all be okay if you buy our album, our product, our magazine.
LOVE FOR THIS SONG K Heart!
this was the first song i heard from ima robot.( on a vans mix cd). its crazy. the whole band's crazy. but good music and a lotta times deep thoughts into what they were writing. yay
