Hey, Evil Borg Machine-man

/ G A D G / D G / D G A - /

 

They came upon us in the empty void of space,

A distant, lonely place,

To assimilate our race and end humanity...

 

They could have crushed us in their cybernetic hand,

But bravely we did stand,

Not fully understanding their insanity!

 

/ G A D G / D G A - / 1st / D G A D /

 

Hey, evil Borg machine-man, get away from me!

You're creepy, and I don't want to be one of you!

Hey, evil Borg machine-man, won't you let me be?

In the interstellar darkness I'll be running from you.

 

They grabbed the captain and went back aboard their cube,

Stuck his brain all full of tubes,

And all that we could do was watch his image fade.

 

We tried to fight them but were blocked at every turn.

Not a weakness we discerned,

So quickly had they learned of all the plans we'd made.

 

Hey, evil Borg machine-man...

 

At last we turned and fled as fast as we could go,

But our ship was much too slow,

And they struck a mighty blow to our deflector shield.

 

Our end would be the same as that of our whole fleet

The Borg had got us beat.

At last we met defeat, and we were forced to yield.

 

Hey, evil Borg machine-man...

 

I've been taken over by the voices in my brain,

Slowly driving me insane,

I've been fighting them in vain, now I'm a drone, it's true.

 

But still I wonder, is it really wrong to be

Individual and free,

Myself and only me and not a clone of you?

 

Hey, evil Borg machine-man...
