    Lyrics from the wiki if you want them:
    (I am polished steel) I am a piston drivin'
    (Straight through your heart) I'll make you feel alive and
    (Tear you apart) If you still survive... (Get out while you can)
    (I am all revved up) I have real red leather
    (Coming for you) You hear my engine whining
    (And in a bolt of blue) I'm gonna make you mighty... (Clear me a path)
    A machine of a man, and baby I was built to last
    (If you could see my eyes) Smell the diesel burnin'
    (Behind this dark, black glass) I see the whole world turnin'
    (Give it some more gas) The Line of No Return is... (Coming up fast...)
    (There's fire in my veins) Baby, don't forget it
    (Sweat and oil) My hearts electric
    (We're gonna rock that road) So come and get it. (Put your foot on the gas)
    A machine of a man, and baby I was built to last
    (I see the sun go down) I see the streets get rough
    (I been here all along) I know you think you're tough
    (I'll be here when you're gone) You say you've had enough
    (When the night time comes, baby) I wanna play rock and roll
    A machine of a man, and baby I was built to...
    Let's go
    Baby, I was built to last
    Baby, I was built to last
    Baby, I was built to last
    Baby, I was built to last
    Well the world may die! It may all catch fire
    I will still survive because I'll go on and on! And on! And on
    (A machine of a man, and baby I was built to last)

    Since this song is not connected to any acts, anyone else think it's about Megaman confronting any robot master through out the series? Since there's a single like that says his real name (*Rock*).

On top of that I had to drop out due to unresolved trauma and other mental health affecting my school work and trying to live a normal life. But not to worry, I took a break and I'm seeing therapy and I re-enrolled with a plan this time, I plan to get my transfer credits and associates in arts degree and transfer to a good university far from the state I live in and start over. So when that day comes I will pull up on my sweet motorcycle and I'll even have a cool suit to go along with it to sweeten the deal. I'll keep you posted if you want.

      The Protomen would NEVER, under ANY circumstances support Trump. Hell, they compared him to the villain in their rock opera at an event I went to. Trump represents everything their storyline goes against.

      So what you want the hivemind socialist government Hillary wants? Single payer insurance? where you have to wait in line for 5-9 months to se the Dr. and if you are sick you still have to wait in line. To have life saving surgery you better hope you don't die while you are waiting in line. This is how it is in Canada. Canada only has 36 million people in its whole country, California alone has 39.... Those lines i quoted are Canadas lines for medical assistance. You cant even pay cash at a dr. office in Canada everyone HAS to use the medical system and wait in line. If all and I do mean almost ALL of these career polticians would quit and get fresh faces into the government that care about life more than money then America would have a chance. But no they are all greedy as hell baby boomers and they have sucked America dry and left us with shit.

      @Jim Notor Oh, did you not hear about them supporting BLM? I mean, they ACTIVELY SAID SO, on their official facebook page. I even went to one of their Q&A sessions and they explicitly compared Trump to Dr. Wily, the villain of their story. Sorry to burst your bubble.

      ​@@dorkandproudofit Also the fact that the theme of what we've heard from Act III supports the idea of people coming together to fix society and rise up against the government, which is what BLM is. Also Act I also supports the BLM idea of change with the "If you say this is how it has to be, you do no better than the fools of this burning city" lines in The Will of One, as well as Protoman saying that they need to stand up and fight if they want change.
