(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 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 the marching bots up 
(Wind them up and wish them away) 
Wind them up and wish them away 

What with all the hullabaloo 
We very nearly forgot about you 
Now all the old troubles will soon be at an end 
And all the new ones will begin when we send the signal To the newborn citizenship 
Of the micronations 
Sleeper cells awaken, now this is your time 
Hear the voices calling to their confederates 
See the tiny figures testing 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
Rearranging beds 
Eating what's available 
In some hand-me-downs 
Making do with leftovers 
Bunking up, [bad word] books 
Sitting three-deep on each other's laps 
In a van stacked up on other vans 
Driving on a 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 
(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 the marching bots up)
Wind them up and get them to send a signal 
(Wind them up and wish them away) 
To the newborn citizenship 
Of the micronations 
Sleeper cells awaken now 
This is your, this is your time
