As recorded by The Living Tombstone (2022 release) [Chorus]
G       D      Em
I want, I want to be a machine

    Bm     A     D
And I want to be shining, chrome, and clean

        G                     Em
There's something, something, some—

                             Bm     D
There's something wrong with me, oh no

G       D     Em
I want, I can change my CPU

       Bm   Am          D
'Cause I am scared I'll be the same to you

        G                     Em
There's something, something, some—

                             Bm
There's something wrong with me

N.C.                        Bm        C G Bm   Em G Bm   C Bm
And now it's back to square one (O-o—)
[Verse 1]
Bm                                C
Feel another attack, a reaction impacting

Cm
Every time I start a brand new track

            Bm
A brand new plaque, a brand new stack

                         Em
If I can hack it without getting distracted

    G
And breaking a nеw contract

    Bm
I'm getting limited by flesh and blood

C                               Bm
Dopaminе receptor needs a fresh flood of the chemicals

                                  C
Serotonin feeling so ephemeral in general malaise

                          Bm
I'm stuck wasting several days

                            C                                        Bm
Waiting for a burst of inspiration, instigation of a more productive phase

                          C
Organic brain in a panic, clash, I gotta go fast like Sanic

Bm
Double the time it takes, double the bad mistakes

                   C
Double the monthly breakdown, the shakedown, the trouble with self-doubt

Bm                                            Em
I'm feeling sick of confusion, give in to the robotic focus

    D
And out with the human
[Chorus]
G       D      Em
I want, I want to be a machine

    Bm     A     D
And I want to be shining, chrome, and clean

        G                     Em
There's something, something, some—

                             Bm     D
There's something wrong with me, oh no

G       D     Em
I want, I can change my CPU

       Bm   Am          D
'Cause I am scared I'll be the same to you

        G                     Em
There's something, something, some—

                             Bm
There's something wrong with me

N.C.                        Bm
And now it's back to square one
[Verse 2]
Bm
Feel the pulse like the rhythm that's breakin'

C
Maybe it's the pills that I've been takin'

Bm
But I feel overclocked, overworked

C                  D
Over and over, too hot, I got to stop

Bm
Turn the plan on, turn the fan on

C                                           Bm
Melting from the inside, trying to stand on fire

Bm
Downed wires, it's got a virus

C
Thought it was the new me, back to the old trip

Bm
Heart goes boom, trapped in a padded room

C                                      Bm
A womb for powerless flowers who can't bloom

                                       C
Don't assume from afar that you can diagnose a ghost

C
Just from looking at the scars

Bm
Stars in your eyes I can tell

                       C
But you're living in denial, try out living in hell

Bm
You'll be sick of confusion, start the infusion
N.C. Robotic is better than human [Chorus]
G       D      Em
I want, I want to be a machine

    Bm     A     D
And I want to be shining, chrome, and clean

        G                     Em
There's something, something, some—

                             Bm     D
There's something wrong with me, oh no

G       D     Em
I want, I can change my CPU

       Bm   Am          D
'Cause I am scared I'll be the same to you

        G                     Em
There's something, something, some—

                             Bm
There's something wrong with me

D                           G
And now it's back to square one
[Outro]
                Em
I want, I want, I want, I want

  Bm              D
I want, I want, I want, I want

  G               Em
I want, I want, I want, I want

  Bm           D
I want, I want to be a machine

                Em
I want, I want, I want, I want

  Bm              D
I want, I want, I want, I want

  G               Em
I want, I want, I want, I want

  Bm
I want, I want to be a machine
