Automatic Schmuck Lyrics

Born only a month ago yet I'm (already) fully grown from head to toe.
Lots of metal, lots of grease and put together piece by piece.
To support a system that uses me....but the day is here and they're gonna see.
I'm on a mission cause now I've had it.
I watch their system and spit right at it.
I was born and plated a schmuck they created.
I'll explode I'll erode yeah I'll break you fucking code cause I'm an automatic schmuck.
With a tendency to rock.
Deprived of mind but yet I know - I'm a metallic man about to blow.
Time to set the record straight.
Time to let out all my hate.
I'm on a mission an metallic man with the intention to expose the plan.
I was born and plated a schmuck they created.
I'll explode I'll erode yeah I'll break you fucking code cause I'm an automatic schmuck.
With a tendency to rock.
I'm on a mission a metallic goof - it takes a man of steal to reveal the truth.
I was born and plated a schmuck they created.
I'll explode I'll erode yeah I'll break you fucking code cause I'm an automatic schmuck.
With a tendency to rock.

Hate To Say I Told You So

Born only a month ago yet I'm (already) fully grown from head to toe.
Lots of metal, lots of grease and put together piece by piece.
To support a system that uses me....but the day is here and they're gonna see.
I'm on a mission cause now I've had it.
I watch their system and spit right at it.
I was born and plated a schmuck they created.
I'll explode I'll erode yeah I'll break you fucking code cause I'm an automatic schmuck.
With a tendency to rock.
Deprived of mind but yet I know - I'm a metallic man about to blow.
Time to set the record straight.
Time to let out all my hate.
I'm on a mission an metallic man with the intention to expose the plan.
I was born and plated a schmuck they created. 
I'll explode I'll erode yeah I'll break you fucking code cause I'm an automatic schmuck.
With a tendency to rock.
I'm on a mission a metallic goof - it takes a man of steal to reveal the truth.
I was born and plated a schmuck they created. 
I'll explode I'll erode yeah I'll break you fucking code cause I'm an automatic schmuck.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
