Nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight
You gotta kick at the darkness till it bleeds daylight.

‘Til it bleeds daylight

Could be wrong, I could be right
Could be wrong, I could be right

I could be black, I could be white

Public Image Ltd – Rise (12″Version) (1986/ 2013):

Don’t give up
‘Cause you have friends
Don’t give up
You’re not the only one
Don’t give up
No reason to be ashamed
Don’t give up
You still have us
Don’t give up now
We’re proud of who you are
Don’t give up
You know it’s never been easy
Don’t give up
‘Cause I believe there’s a place
There’s a place where we belong

Peter Gabriel – Don’t Give Up (ft. Kate Bush):

It’s not here
It disappear
I’m all lost in the supermarket
I can no longer shop happily
I came in here for the special offer
A guaranteed personality

Lost In The SuperMarket:

When I was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybody’s help in any way
(Now) but now these days are gone (these days are gone)
I’m not so self assured
(And now I find) now I find I’ve changed my mind
And opened up the doors

The Beatles – Help!:

We’re charging our battery
And now we’re full of energy
We are the robots
We are the robots
We are the robots
We are the robots

Kraftwerk – The Robots HQ Audio:

Tried to be the Robot King
And settled for the robot boy

Ring the bells that still can ring
And sing your stupid head off
To the ones who are not listening

But don’t, don’t don’t, don’t let them go
Don’t don’t, don’t don’t, don’t let them go to waste

Dan Mangan – Robots:

We’re glad it’s all over
We’re glad it’s all over
We’re glad it’s all over
