A short song on the subject of faux-rebellion. I really like the chorus, which was somewhat inspired by a line in Remote Control by The Clash; "I am a robot!"

Suckers and Sellouts
Selling empty promises
Catering to lobbyists
Reinvesting dissidence
In an elitist and momentary fad
We'll sell you the drugs
Then we'll arrest you for buying them
We'll tell you that you're wrong
Just to keep you coming back again
And we're building a robot
We're building an anti-robot robot
We're a building a robot
That's just oh so sure that it's not
a robot
Building a robot
We're building an anti-robot robot
We're building a robot
And you don't know you've been bought
You're a robot
And don't you feel so trendy today,
In your pre-ripped shirt that cost you half a weeks pay?
And your just way too busy to get in our way
When it just costs so much to stay a rebel cliche
And you won't stop us
Imprisoning the populace
Invading out of "self defense"
Martial law with no consent
You're too caught up in your pretense
To do anything about it
When we're building a robot
We're building an anti-robot robot
We're building a robot
And you're oh so sure that you're not
a robot
Building a robot
You're one of a million anti-robot robots
We're building a robot
And your faction is part of our plot
And your actions are part of our plot
And your "fashion" is part of our plot
This distraction is part of our plot
You're a robot
We resold all your drugs
But thanks again for buying them
Hope you enjoyed your stay in prison
Though we both know you'll be back again
