The 9th single opens up a new door of an experimental sound for HEATH NOT KEITH! Heavily influenced by The Cure this time around, the song still dives deep into 80's nostalgia as past singles have. Fans of the film Short Circuit will definitely love the lyrics!
lyrics
Execute command
Wanted by man
No reboot can fix it this time
Lightning strikes at the precise moment in space and time
John, Johnny 5 is alive
He just needed a little spark, a little spark of life woah
He’s just like me, he’s just like you
Oh no, don’t disassemble Johnny 5
John, Johnny 5 is alive
He just needed a little spark, a little spark of life woah
He’s just like me, he’s just like you
Oh no, don’t disassemble Johnny 5
This is not a malfunction
Input is what he craves
Programmed with emotions
He feels fear, pain, and love
He last has been seen in New York
There isn’t a book he hasn’t read
He’s made some friends and they hide him well
Well, as far as they can tell
Execute command
Wanted by man
No reboot can fix it this time
Lightning strikes at the precise moment in space and time
John, Johnny 5 is alive
He just needed a little spark, a little spark of life woah
He’s just like me, he’s just like you
Oh no, don’t disassemble Johnny 5
John, Johnny 5 is alive
He just needed a little spark, a little spark of life woah
He’s just like me, he’s just like you
Oh no, don’t disassemble Johnny 5
John, Johnny 5 is alive
He just needed a little spark, a little spark of life woah
He’s just like me, he’s just like you
Oh no, don’t disassemble Johnny 5
John, Johnny 5 is alive
He just needed a little spark, a little spark of life woah
He’s just like me, he’s just like you
Oh no, don’t disassemble Johnny 5
John, Johnny 5 is alive
He just needed a little spark, a little spark of life
John, Johnny 5 is alive, woah

I found these guys by accident almost a decade ago and was instantly hooked. This album is a compilation of almost all their songs, and really it's packed full of so many great songs! Heath Not Keith
One of my all-time favorite bands ever. I think this single is one of their best songs and I love the mashup of a bunch of songs. Genius songwriting by a legendary band. Heath Not Keith
