[Gm]
[Bb] Look what they're doing to [Dm] me, I'm a deli at your whim, [Bb] all of my defenses [Dm] down.
[Bb] The camera looks through [D] me, with its [F] X-ray vision, [Bb] and all systems run [D] aground.
[Bb] All I can then [C] see, pushed from my lips, is [Gm] a scream of absurdity.
[Bb] Everywhere [C] I'm thinking they do speak, winds [Gm] up locked in a circuitry.
[G] No way to control it, it's totally [C]
automatic, whenever I go [G] around.
I'm walking and holding, completely [C] automatic, all of my systems [Dm] are down, down, down, [Gm] down.
What is [Bb] this madness, [D] that makes my motor [Bb] run, my legs too weak to [Dm] stand.
[Bb] I go from sadness, [Dm] to exhilaration, [Bb] like robots at your [Dm] command.
[Bb] My hands perspire, [C] shake like a leaf, up [Gm] and down goes my confessions.
I [Bb] summon goddess [C] to get some relief, but [Gm] they tell me there is no cure.
[C] Tell me.
No way to control [Dm] it, it's [C] totally automatic, whenever I go [G] around.
[F] I'm walking [Dm] and holding, [C] [G] completely automatic, all of my systems are down, down, [Gm] down, down.
