Nanobots - They Might Be Giants

Grow the nanobots up

(Grow them in the cracks in the sidewalk)

Grow them in the cracks in the sidewalk

Wind the nanobots up (Wind them up and ask them a question)

Wind them up and ask them a question

(Raise the yellow bots up)

Raise the yellow bots up

(Raise them up and make them respect us)

Raise them up and make them respect us Wind the marching bots up (Wind them up and wish them away)

Wind them up and wish them away

After all the hullabaloo

We very nearly forgot about you

Now all the old troubles will soon be at an end

When all the neurons begin when we send the signal

To the newborn citizenship

Of the micronations

Sleeper cells awaken, now this is your plan

Hear the voices tuned into the confederates

See the tiny figures stretching their limbs

Stand back and watch them

Grow the nanobots up Grow them in the cracks in the sidewalk

Wind the nanobots up Wind them up and wish them away

The sun is rising in the wrong place

I would decorate the room but there’s no more space

All I see is pictures of matchstick men

I turn my back for two minutes and they’ve grown again

They’re arranging beds

Using what’s available

In their hand-me-downs

Making do with leftovers

Looking up, reading comic books

Sitting three-deep in each other’s laps

On the messed up notebook of the van

Riding on the tidal wave where they

(Grow the nanobots up)

Grow the nanobots up

(Grow them in the cracks in the sidewalk)

Grow them in the cracks in the sidewalk

Wind the nanobots up (Wind the nanobots up)

Wind them up and wish them away

Raise the yellow bots up (Raise the yellow bots up)

Raise them up and make them respect us

(Raise them up and make them respect us)

Wind the marching bots up (Wind the nanobots up)

Wind them up and make them to send a signal

To the newborn citizenship

Of the micronations

Sleeper cells awaken now

This is your, this is your time
