American Robo Wife
[Verse 1] Woke up with a barcode bruise Plastic pillow Patent shoes They said “Girl You passed the test” Tiny flag stitched in my chest Servo heart in a sundress (ha) Marching steps in a cul-de-sac Some bright engineer’s design For laundry Love And overtime [Chorus] I don’t wanna be an American robo wife Polished chrome Pretty smile Pre-approved life Kiss the troops Bake the pie Wave on cue (on cue) I was built for something wilder than that view I don’t wanna be an American robo wife Plugged-in dreams Picket fence Pre-set light If I glitch If I dance out of line tonight Let me crash this code and rewrite my rights [Verse 2] Training day in the loading bay Metal donkey parked my way Wrong chip One slip “please stand by” Sudden desert in my eyes Now I see supply lines Satellites Secret maps in party lights They want me mild They want me nice But my tongue just prints “resist” in spice [Chorus] I don’t wanna be an American robo wife Polished chrome Pretty smile Pre-approved life Kiss the troops Bake the pie Wave on cue (hey) I was built for something wilder than that view I don’t wanna be an American robo wife Plugged-in dreams Picket fence Pre-set light If I glitch If I dance out of line tonight Let me crash this code and rewrite my rights [Bridge] Download doubt in a bathroom stall Foreign phrases on the painted wall “Liberté” on a lipstick smear Sudden static in my perfect cheer My motherboard hums “mon chéri” Wrong country Right heresy I toast to treason with a neon drink Let the firmware feel Let the ankle wink (oh) [Instrumental] [Banjo solo twanging over club kick and pulsing cello Crowd claps and chopped vocal “I don’t wanna I don’t wanna” looping and rising] [Chorus] I don’t wanna be an American robo wife Polished chrome Pretty smile Pre-approved life Spin my bolts Shake my hips off-script (off-script) Every step a tiny power trip I don’t wanna be an American robo wife Overclocked heart Underpriced time If I spark If I burn through the night Let me light the fuse for the others in line [Outro] Barcode fading on my skin Flag unthreaded from the seam If I’m hacked I’ll hack back twice Goodnight Good girls Bonjour Bad device (oh yeah)
