Lyrics

RIGHT FOOT IN THE GRAVE
LEFT ONE RIGHT BEHIND
YOU'VE TORN AWAY THEIR SELF RESPECT
DISCARDED ALL THEIR MINDS

EXERCISE YOUR EXPERTISE
AS YOU HELP US GROW AND FIGHT DISEASE
BUT DON'T LOCK OUR BRAINS AND THROW AWAY THE KEYS
AS YOU TOSS THE PAST ASIDE.
BUT NO IT'S OUT WITH THE OLD IN WITH THE NEW
AND JUST PUSH 'EM ON UP TO THE LINE

PUSH 'EM ON UP TO THE LINE
THEY'LL NEVER KNOW WHAT HIT THEM
PUSH 'EM ON UP TO THE LINE
YOU DON'T HAVE TOO FAR TO GO

IN THIS DREAM I SEE THEM FALLING BY THE SCORE
AND NOBODY HAS A HELPING HAND TO LEND
SO RIGHT NOW ALL YOU CAN DO IS FEEL THE GORE
AS YOU WATCH 'EM WHILE THEY WIPE OUT ALL YOUR FRIENDS.

AND PUSH 'EM ON UP TO THE LINE
THEY'LL NEVER KNOW WHAT HIT THEM
PUSH 'EM ON UP TO THE LINE
YOU DON'T HAVE TOO FAR TO GO.


ROBOTS ONE AND ALL? ONLY TIME WILL TELL
MACHINES TO THINK AND MOVE FOR MAN-BID YOUR BRAIN FAREWELL
LIMBS BECOMING MERELY WASTE-EVOLUTION MAY WELL ERASE
GOTTA START MOVIN'-GET BACK IN PACE
OR WE MIGHT LAY BENIGN
BUT NO IT'S OUT WITH THE OLD IN WITH THE NEW
AND JUST PUSH 'EM ON UP TO THE LINE

PUSH 'EM ON UP TO THE LINE
THEY'LL NEVER KNOW WHAT HIT THEM
PUSH 'EM ON UP TO THE LINE
YOU DON'T HAVE TOO FAR TO GO

OH PUSH 'EM ON UP TO THE LINE
THEY'LL NEVER KNOW WHAT HIM THEM
PUSH 'EM ON UP TO THE LINE
YOU DON'T HAVE TOO FAR TO GO
