lyrics

They came from metal arms and claws
In boxes they were hurled
And programmed with synoptic thoughts to live in this world

No questioning of right or wrong
The same way they all lived
Curriculum of daily life used as a sedative

The secret, secret laboratory
The secret, secret laboratory
Made in secret, secret laboratory
The secret, secret laboratory

Mile-long conveyor belts distributing these clones
From scrap metal and cardboard to the next suburban home
Their first words like their last words were so trivial and dull
Nothing from outside the box had come out of their skull

The people went forgotten since they never made a sound
The gray cold hopeless tombstones blended right in with the ground
Never questioned being under such a terrible curse
Just an understanding for life on planet Earth
