lyrics

A young boy with a gun in his hand
He grew up on Rambo now he plays in the sand
Dodging bullets and landmines but he doesn’t mind
He lives the life of his hero
A young girl she’s as pretty as nature intended
She heads to a doctor to get herself amended
She just has to have the nose
Of that latest movie queen

We design plastic girls and boys like we’re in a movie
Make futuristic toys like we’re in a movie
We pretend we have a choice like we’re in a movie
Fight to be the loudest voice like we’re in a movie
We flex our muscles over soil like we’re in a movie
If we don’t like it we destroy it like we’re in a movie
Drop bombs like they’re toys like we’re in a movie
And hear music in the noise like we’re in a movie

A technological genius mastermind
Built a robot that can mimic mankind
But not to worry, we’re assured
It’s for the good of our future plans
A secret agent used to be an elite breed of man
Now we’ve got most of Bonds gadgets in the palm of our hand
There’s no point trying to hide
‘Cause we can find you at the click of a button

We design plastic girls and boys like we’re in a movie
Make futuristic toys like we’re in a movie
We pretend we have a choice like we’re in a movie
Fight to be the loudest voice like we’re in a movie
We flex our muscles over soil like we’re in a movie
If we don’t like it we destroy it like we’re in a movie
Drop bombs like they’re toys like we’re in a movie
And hear music in the noise like we’re in a movie

Word on the street was that he’d never get the power
Until they got to that final hour
And along with it
Came a shocking twist in the plot
Social media, political media
Has blended into one
He just wants to keep having his fun
Wants to keep playing with his gun

We design plastic girls and boys like we’re in a movie
Make futuristic toys like we’re in a movie
We pretend we have a choice like we’re in a movie
Fight to be the loudest voice like we’re in a movie
We flex our muscles over soil like we’re in a movie
If we don’t like it we destroy it like we’re in a movie
Drop bombs like they’re toys like we’re in a movie
And hear music in the noise like we’re in a movie
