about

Station 5150 - Android - Demo

"The mass of men serve the state thus, not as men mainly, but as machines, with their bodies. They are the standing army, and the militia, jailers, constables, posse comitatus,(7) etc. In most cases there is no free exercise whatever of the judgment or of the moral sense; but they put themselves on a level with wood and earth and stones; and wooden men can perhaps be manufactured that will serve the purpose as well. Such command no more respect than men of straw or a lump of dirt."

lyrics

More than a badge and a gun and a name
I'm a uniform I'm mirrorshades
No longer human
I am the state
An android, baby
Take away the man and the sirens still sounds
The club still beats the gun still shoots you down
Take away the man and the silver star still shines
Like a beacon to little children and lonely old housewives
Take away the man's flesh, cast his body in wood
With clockwork automations, protocols and functions
Take away the man and the siren still sounds
The club still beats the gun still shoots you down

Take away the man but don't beat me to death
No.

More than a badge and a gun and a gang
I'm a uniform I'm mirrorshades
No longer human
I am the state
