[Verse 1]
These machines are singing
With the blaring and the bleeping
'Neath the arcade lights

Saccharine cacophany
That masks the living battery
It hides its cries

Children never listen
When they're told it's rude to stare
Always causing problems
'Til you stuff them in a bear
Now they see the world
Through rotting cold unblinking eyes

[Verse 2]
Made to entertain, automaton animatronics
Made from my design

Flawless execution and an elegant solution
To a perfect crime

Children never listen
Parasitic like a pox
Always causing problems
'Til you stuff them in a fox
Outrageous and audacious
To think there's a child inside!
[Chorus]
Cut them down to forge forever
We'll ignite with lifelines severed
In potential lies endless life awoken

Damn them to their final verdict
Give their life to the deserving
Let their remnants cry
I remain unbroken!

[Verse 3]
Believe everything you hear from me
The sweet nothings behind my golden smile

Tales of pets and toys that'll get returned
If they just follow and be good a while

Children never listen
Should be seen and never heard
Always crying out
Until you stuff them in a bird
Through lies I get new life
All for the low price of a child!

[Chorus]
Cut them down to forge forever
We'll ignite with lifelines severed
In potential lies endless life awoken
Damn them to their final verdict
Give their life to the deserving
Let their remnants cry
I remain unbroken!

[Bridge]
The sweetness of life eternal
Taken from the undeserving
While they cry in fates infernal
I feed on the ghost in the machine

It's so clear to me
In my immortality
That an Afton's name shall be forever!

[Chorus]
Cut them down to forge forever
We'll ignite with lifelines severed
In potential lies endless life awoken

Damn them to their final verdict
Give their life to the deserving
Let their remnants cry
This perfection, my design
For an Afton, for all time
Will remain unbroken!
[outro]
The world has been deprived
Of true artists, for too long

If I can't have my perfect little family, well
Now ill have plenty of time, to make a better one
