Cage The Elephant - Tiny Little Robots Lyrics






I've got you movin' to the city
Oh my, you think you're lookin' pretty
They got a pistol too
Tucked down beneath their shoe

It's a new sensation
World annihilation
Moving to the music
Patiently it's waiting

The city's screaming
I can hear them breathing
Crying out for wisdom
Hungry minds are feeding

I know that you're tired of this
Cause you're a robot
They designed your life
True souls said you know what's right
You can join us on the other side

Are you scared?
Are you scared?
Are you scared?

I've got you marching to a drum beat
Oh my you got another nose bleed
They'll keep you so amused
You'll never taste the truth

It's a new creation
Total domination
Chains across your shoulders
Social captivation

Kill our leaders
Persecute our teachers
Criticize our culture
Crucify free thinkers

I know that you're tired of this
Cause you're a robot
They designed your life
But true souls said you know what's right
You can join us on the other side

Are you scared?
Are you scared?
Are you scared?

Fill our eyes with money
Vanity that's cunning
Only on the surface
Diamonds look so stunning

Mass deception
Altered our perception
Sold it to the children
Made a new connection

And I know that you're tired of this
Cause you're a robot
They designed your life
But true souls said you know what's right
You can join us on the other side

Our sidewalks are broken
Our minds have been twisted
The billboards are lying, the lies have been made
The streets are all empty, we paved them with zombies
A lost generation generically made
A dream that was creeping I kept in my sight
Then it turned and it took me
An explosion, it shook me
Beauty that screams, "I'm alive"
When amidst all the madness, I saw a flower

    I've got you movin' to the city
    Oh my, you think you're lookin' pretty
    But they've got their pistols too
    Tucked down beneath their shoe

    It's a new sensation
    World annihilation
    Moving to the music
    Patiently it's waiting

    The city's sceaming
    I can hear them breathing
    Crying out for wisdom
    Hungry minds are feeding

    [Chorus:]
    I know that you're tired of this
    Cause you're a robot
    They designed your life
    But true souls said you know what's right
    And you can join us on the other side

    Are you scared? [x3]

    I've got you marching to a drum beat
    Oh my you got another nose bleed

  17. r.... ....

    most underrated cte song tbh

    r.... ....

    This one and drones in the valley

  18. H.... S....

    I have thought Cage the Elephant was a well-conceived name.

    Some songs, mostly their debut songs, reflect on controversy or topics people tend to avoid in everyday talk for good/bad, such as politics and society and how time/people go along. I think "cage the elephant" is figurative for trapping the "elephant in the room" and setting it in "cage" for the public to acknowledge it.

    H.... S....

    Hailie Soughman the bands name was literally just something some homeless guy said and they thought it was funny

    H.... S....

    Hailie Soughman actually Matt said he was eating a bowl of alphabet soup and when he finished the bowl it spelled out Cage the Elephant and he was like "whoa"

    H.... S....

    Some crazy homeless dude walked up to them when they were Perfect Confusion and was like "you gotta cage the elephant"

    H.... S....

    This is the only organic album from CTE or they are massive hypocrites. Singing about the media labels and everyone trying to control you. Only to sell out to record labels and make generic indie rick music.

    H.... S....

    Yeah, even tho they got the name from a game off the back of a cereal box lol

  19. L.... S....

    the end wtf

  20. L.... S....

    your a robot and i am gab

  21. L.... S....

    hhehhehehehehheeee boi aint nothing like spicy meat
    -AINSLEY HARRIOT

  22. B.... K....

    2:35 Breathe - Pink Floyd

    B.... K....

    So I'm not the only one!! They broke it down like an ode to Pink Floyd

  23. D.... S....

    This song makes even more sense in 2016

  24. A.... C....

    *jumps around maniacally while jamming to this song* dude the beats in this songggggg tho

  25. B.... ....

    "Tiny Little Robots"

    B.... ....

    BacterialBlake these are so wrong, cmon dickhead

  26. H.... K....

    This. is. legendary.

  27. M.... ....

    I listened to this whole album while playing Borderlands 1 and 2 :)

  28. T.... ....

    I ONLY just discovered this band, oh my fucking God they're soo good. How am i gonna listen to anything else now?

    And people say todays music sucks, it does not. You just have to be patient and put a little more effort in finding epic music, these guys will be remembered and crappy bands won't just like so called Golden Ages like the 60's and 70's. (we only remember the good bands). Js...

    T.... ....

    +Astra Aurora Amos Shake me down is amazing, same with Judas and James Brown. Fuck it, Cage the Elephant is amazing, period.

    T.... ....

    Taurus A few good bands doesn't make up for all the crap on the radio.Plus your "we don't remember bad music" isn't true since ice ice baby has over 200 million views.

    T.... ....

    ARE YOU STILL LIKING THEM

    T.... ....

    Well cage the elephant was a good music period but the 60s and 70s hell even the 90s Era of music is something that can never be changed. During that time music was really good, and I actually like a lot of bands from those eras, the new music now is pretty crappy. Just my opinion on it three years later

  29. E.... ....

    Sounds like Driver 2 Chicago At Day

  30. C.... ....

    I came here for Tiny Little Robots, I got Cage The Elephant...

  31. J.... H....

    Saw them in Napa last May. Can't wait for the next tour.

  32. K.... J....

    this song blew my fucking mind to pieces that kick back slow rock feel KILLLING IT

  33. U.... ....

    their whole album has a message listen !

    U.... ....

    What is it

    U.... ....

    Usmerchant101 first album has great lyrics about the deception of American society

    U.... ....

    @FaggotTube Official

    You wouldn't believe it if he did... Assuming that he does know, but I highly doubt it... "You can join us, on the other side"... I'm assuming the band leader is an energy psychic vampire, as with the Nordics 'Gods' or these ancient humans, that have probably ascended to high levels of consciousness and operate from the astral, considering if they exist or not... Evil spelled backwards is live. If you figure that out, then you're probably well on your way to joining them... Then again, maybe that's the trap in itself? This planet is controlled by energy vampires, humanity is their live-stock and this I know for a fact... (whether they're human, something similar, or far from human)... They also spend a great amount of time sucking humanity's dick as well... Maybe that's where they're sucking blood from too? Food for thought...

    U.... ....

    welling, seeing how the whole first song is telling you to listen to the lyrics, I can see how

  34. s.... ....

    THIS SONG IS SO UNDERRATED

    s.... ....

    So good.

  35. J.... R....

    I thought it said "Thank god I'm pissed off too" in the first verse

  36. s.... r....

    finally i meat cage the elephant fans

  37. P.... T....

    I've got you movin' to the city
    Oh my, you think you're lookin' pretty
    But they've got their pistols too
    Tucked down beneath their shoe

    It's a new sensation
    World annihilation
    Moving to the music
    Patiently it's waiting

    The city's sceaming
    I can hear them breathing

    Hungry minds are feeding

    [Chorus:]
    I know that you're tired of this
    Cause you're a robot
    They designed your life
    But true souls said you know what's right

    Are you scared? [x3]

    I've got you marching to a drum beat
    Oh my you got another nose bleed
    They'll keep you so amused
    You'll never taste the truth

    It's a new creation

    Sold it to the children
    Made a new connection

  38. G.... ....

    The guy in the beginning sounds like Joel Heyman from Roosterteeth. Like Caboose from RvB.

    G.... ....

    Dude I was listening to this while watching the Rooster Teeth sub. Props!

    G.... ....

    Cage The Elephant *and* Rooster Teeth fans?
    Good tastes, if I do say so myself..

  39. M.... J....

    So amazing. Learn from this, children.

    M.... J....

    You still a child.

  40. I.... ....

    @Darren Herod are you retarded or something this band was made in like 2006

    I.... ....

    oh i thought you meant 20 years ago not edgefest 20, years ago

    I.... ....

    @Darren Herod my apologises

    I.... ....

    ahaha thats sounds like it was pretty sick

  41. d.... ....

    wow i miss this song

  42. j.... h....

    beginning is from the crow

  43. R.... L....

    Cage The Elephant:Are You Scared, Are You Scared
    Me: Um.... Sort Of?

    R.... L....

    I know I am

  44. J.... S....

    did you mean that part of song One Big Mob from One Hot Minute album 2:01?

  45. P.... A....

    Thank you Borderlands for showing me this band back in 2009. Such a unique band. Love it.

  46. z.... ....

    it would be awkward if your ipod suddenly shuffle and change to some kind of full-of-fan-service-plus-dick-joke-type-of-anime (which is still cool, btw); especially when some girl would like to try to what you were listening...eh, escapist, you know what to do.

  47. F.... ....

    Critical Miss brought me here!

  48. K.... ....

    try Nico Vega

  49. G.... ....

    This song reminds me a bit of Red Hot Chilli Peppers

    G.... ....

    GutoGuitarrayBoxeo are you on drugs? This is nothing like Red Hot Chili Peppers. This shit is real. It has substance. Nothing against RHCP but CTE is so much better

  50. 4.... ....

    No band is as bad as that band...

  51. m.... ....

    lol gtfo.

  52. x.... ....

    Linkin park> This shit

  53. B.... ....

    linkin park... is how it is spelled

  54. J.... G....

    i want more music like them love this shit

  55. A.... D....

    not bad...

    I didn't even notice that when I typed it in

  56. S.... L....

    Fuck all of your opinions.

  57. E.... S....

    The Rolling Stones. :)

  58. 4.... ....

    Says the person that can't use the right "you're"
    Practice what you preach.

  59. A.... D....

    finally someone who understands :)

  60. A.... D....

    they still fall under the rock category which is the best genre ever

    A.... D....

    That's a total opinion.

  61. A.... D....

    nice with the sarcasm,

    they are post-hardcore

  62. A.... D....

    since 21 guns, holiday, american idiot, and boulevard of broken dreams.

  63. A.... D....

    Three songs by them that are good without screamo: Hiatus, Aileron, and Not The American Average.

    They are a good band in my opinion, though it seems people in this part of YouTube hate anything heavy

  64. A.... D....

    if your going to hate at least know how to spell....

  65. A.... D....

    Rise Against, Three Days Grace, Paramore, Funeral For a Friend, Escape The Fate, Blink-182, Nirvana

  66. A.... D....

    yea I'm a fan of them though I wouldn't go around these parts of YouTube posting about them, lots of haters

  67. J.... �....

    Suena genial! :D

  68. M.... R....

    Also it's funny how much groupthink there is from people commenting on a song about non-conformity.

  69. G.... G....

    Asking Alexandria are shitty...

  70. M.... R....

    After listing to songs like this, would anyone else agree that Cage The Elephant would have made a kickass hardcore Punk Rock band? Hell, imagine a Dead Kennedys (Real Dead Kennedys, with Jello Biafra and everything) cover of this song.

  71. K.... ....

    Anyhow, change of topic. Cage the Elephant is fucking awesome. End of story.

  72. J.... K....

    These Screamo, Mabey on like two songs?

  73. a.... ....

    People saying why are you reading the comments look up. IT'S A SONG YOU LISTEN NOT WATCH DUMBASS
