A Fatality

from No Regrets For Our Youth by Libel

/

lyrics

I slipped on the ice and broke my neck
The medics said, son, you can't die just yet
The future's all flying cars and robots
So be a good boy and give all you got

I'm sorry, I replied, I can't consent
I've long believed this is God's intent
They laughed and pretended not to hear
They patched me up good as new—or near

Decades later, I'm the victim of sleight
Sky's empty with no hover crafts in sight
Each day I repeat routines that I was taught
Never dreamed I'd grow up to be a robot

Eyes on the ground searching for patches of ice
'Cause I doubt fortune will smile upon me twice
Each day living against divine will
I'm convinced He's going in… For the kill

I don't want to be scared anymore
Can't I just turn my head and ignore
The danger lying in wait
Not one corner appears to be safe

If you think someone's watching out
You're dumber than me without a doubt
He's vengeful, even more now
Always amazed at how
We keep fucking up His plans

Stepped in the street, got hit by the bus
The driver said, son, don't make a fuss
Scientists will rebuild you even better
Well, isn't that just great
