lyrics

Well done child You’ve completed many years of training now you’re free to
Stretch your legs, have a wander, take a look at our facility,
Our walls expand so far into the distance, it’s like they’re not even there

Say hello to a world you never asked to enter, ain’t it great?
Now you’re here, we should mention all the ways that you can pull your weight

Cos value is directly linked to
How much service you can give to us
Did you think that we’d really give you
All this freedom if it didn’t come with a cost?

Now March! My little Automaton
Eyes front we’ll let you know what’s going on
March! My little automaton
We made you, don’t think we can’t make another one

Knuckle down and I promise you’ll be anything you want to be
And you know that it’s true because it’s written on the TV screen
And I can’t think of any reason that us friendly folk would have to lie

Don’t be scared by the cameras,
We installed them just to keep you safe
And of course we will not abuse our power
Come on have some faith

Do you think that we got to where we are
By being anything but clean?
So wash your hands and hide your flaws
Make yourself fit through our doors
Welcome to the machine!

Now March! My little Automaton
Eyes front we’ll let you know what’s going on
March! My little automaton
We made you, don’t think we can’t make another one

You will be thankful for inheriting this dying rock we have for a planet!
You will proudly continue to fight wars that were started by people you have nothing to do with!
Any attempt to live outside of the rules of society will see you contained and arrested!
And anyone who claims that they are unhappy with this arrangement is suffering mental illness!

And you will never doubt
The opinion you’re told
By a media bought out
By the men who control
The companies and systems
Whose one only goal
Is turning a profit whilst
Owning you body and soul
So trust us!

And March! My little automaton
Eyes front we’ll let you know what’s going on
March! My little automaton
We made you, don’t think we can’t make another one
March!
Yeah March!
March!
Yeah March!
