Robots




Robots

Robots living everyday

Just like the one, the other

Everyone who thinks like us

We welcome as a brother

Who we accept, and totally

But when we meet a fellow

Who, has another point of view

With him we're not so mellow.

Our parents teach us how to think

No mater right or wrong

Their parents taught them just the same

Opinions just as strong

We're born a Christian, or a Jew

Or whatever we've been taught

These folk who yield authority

They don't allow us thought.

And so nobody ever grows

To be original

We must stick to the status Quo

We have no choice at all

Politicians have their say

And they, we all must follow

As we live our lives each day

Our minds so very hollow.
