Jonathan Coulton - Better Lyrics
Where did we go?When was the moment that we broke in two?I think I knowIn fact I am sure I can blame it on youI remember the first big surpriseThe day you came home with your infrared eyesI looked inside them, but all I could seeWere tiny reflections of meBut it's not me it's you, what you're turning intoIs some kind of something that I never knewYou used to be OK and I liked you that wayBut I don't think that I like you betterNo I don't think that I like you betterYou started out smallSome gills and some wings and a few extra thumbsNow you're thirteen feet tallEven when you're asleep your machinery humsAnd I'm tired of the evenings I spendMaking small talk with your new robot friendsAnd their stupid insistence on scanning my irisWhen they know damn well who I amAnd you look like the victim of a surgical crimeA little Darth Vader, a little Optimus PrimeYou used to be OK and I liked you that wayBut I don't think that I like you betterNo I don't think that I like you betterSo that's how it goesSnap your mandibles once to say you understandNow hold me closeWait, now that's too close, you're crushing my handI can tell by that shrieking alarmThat your weapons systems are active and armedDo me a favor and power them downJust so we don't have a sceneAnd I wish it were different, but we're just not the sameAt least we got someone we know we can blameYou used to be OK and I liked you that wayBut I don't think that I like you betterNo I don't think that I like you better
