Life is Grand Songtext
von Supercommuter

I′m ca-ca-carrying weight
Check it, check it out, upgrades look great
Hatches fused 25% un-un-unused
Progress improved from a crawl
Voco-patch now fully installed
Complicated system with a calibrated fuse box
Who's got animated "yes yes y′alls?"
Bots see me stomping down the street
Stop dead cold, cop the hot physique
See, every step is a gift to me radiate magnetic electricity
Left foot goes down, left foot comes up weighing just a little bit heavier
Right foot goes down, right foot comes up moving just a little bit steadier Everywhere I go, I take a piece
Molecules move, see the mass increase
I get big, and I take bigger pieces
It's slow, but it's steady and it keeps its shape
When it flies through the sky to me
Then fully integrated into chemistry
Now let′s see first, started with the quarks
Get much smaller, then nothing really works
And even down there, it′s exponential
1, 2, 4, 16, 256, 65, 536, follow formula, see the mass potential
Indicators say that the weight is well within planned parameters
I guess it's safe so I′ll keep taking, pushing with perpetual stamina


I'm carrying weight, I′m burying slate; pedometer tick-tick-ticking
Every move I make, feel it tremble and shake, and the stuff is stick-stick-sticking
And you can see that it's bigger now everywhere I go, dust swirlin′ around
Trust me, it must be heavy because I look back, see cracks in the ground
Completely visible people believe what they see, get a little bit critical
They can make their speeches give me a week and their reach is impotent and pitiful
Soon move to paper scraps, screws and nuts and protein wraps
And if you want to keep it, you can take a grip and run quick but it won't last
I'm a slave to the law of attraction; indisputable in every interaction
Irrefutable forces making a course that′s directed to getting matter packed in
Consider that I got no upper limit
Think about the rubble getting bigger every minute
Try to get near me, then formulate a theory
Don′t forget the fact that this is only the beginning

[Birds, bottles, wrenches, goggles]
[Security cameras, digital fliers, hover pads, loose wires]
[Rain water, Irish setters, human children, baggy sweaters]
[Landscaping, shopping bags, street signs, beggars' rags]
[Office windows, cumulous clouds, commuter tubing, discarded couch]
[Robots, people, turbine, doors, gears, belts, glass, floors
[Cannons and rockets and bullets, troops, trees, buildings, bridges, nukes]

Na-na-na-na-now I′m moving
Size of a city, look I'm improving
See sky scrapers flying to me
And then you′ll get the type of bot that I'm trying to be
It′s easy now I'm blowing out of shape
Taking whole blocks and trees and lakes
And infrastructure, you can see the sparks
Break loose, uproot even National Parks
They didn't know that I′d grow and attract
Showed those signs, and they couldn′t turn back
People got evacuated, but the fact they waited
Made them late and slow to react
And now I'm bigger than continent
*Slurp* Ocean, no stopping it
One path, one law, one bot that began it
One conclusion, fuse to the planet
