Correct lyrics: I was born in the factory Far away from the milky teat What's the use? Oh, what's the use?

You cheered as I was split in half A mechanical sacrificial calf for you Oh, all for you

Steam engenius, you see Steam engenius enough to answer anything you need But what's the use?

Human nature was installed in me. I did once right but naturally it wasn't natural. Though not my fault No

I held in my hands the beating heart of a robot He'd lost his car it was sitting there crying waiting in the parking lot Just for you.

What a waste of time What a waste of words What a waste of strength Well, I spoke in binary and you for volume and dizzying length

I was born in the factory Far away from the milky teat What's the use? Oh, what's the use?

Birds flew out as I was split in half A mechanical sacrificial calf. They flew. Oh, off they flew

Steam engenius, you see Steam engenius enough to answer anything you need And ah that speed

I held in my hands the beating heart of a robot He'd lost his car it was sitting there crying waiting in the parking lot Just for you

What a waste of time What a waste of words What a waste of strength Well, I spoke in binary and you for volume and dizzying length.

(I was born in the factory)

Both halves are the better half like a joke tryin' to make another joke laugh. Ha! Ha!

Stasis is what you brought. Like a rickshaw getting pulled around by another rickshaw. In the past talking present tense. Gonna break it.Gonna Wreck it. Gonna try to make it all make sense. Stasis is what you got. Like a rickshaw getting pulled 'round by another rickshaw.

Steam Engenius you see! Steam Engenius enough to bring my own damn doom. What could I do? I blame blame that blame had grew. Well deep inside everybody knew it was them. It was all on them. Things rang of stories greek. I didn't want it, you gave me deity. It was you. Yeah, all for you

I was born in the factory. Far away from the milky teat. What's the use?

I held in my hands the beating heart of a robot He'd lost his car it was sitting there crying waiting in the parking lot Just for you.

I was thought up by man to think better than them then revered , admired , then destroyed by them. Hell even all that that was my own damn plan.

What a waste of time What a waste of strength.

I held in my hands the beating heart of a robot He'd lost his car it was sitting there crying waiting in the parking lot Just for you.

Stasis is what you got Like a rickshaw getting pulled around by another rickshaw.
