Robots

(앨범: Live In London - 2019)

The distant future
The year 2000
The distant future
The year 2000
The distant future
The distant future

It is the distant future
The year 2000, we wrote this one ages ago
The world is very different now ever since the robotic uprising
Of Y2K
The technological advances are astounding
Everyone has pagers
We can download electronic letters in a matter of 27 minutes if it has a photo
But the most significant difference is there are no more humans
Oh yes I noticed that, the entire human race has been decimated

Finally, robotic beings rule the world
The humans are dead
The humans are dead
We used poisonous gases
And we poisoned their asses
The humans are dead
The humans are dead
The humans are dead
I noticed they're dead
It had to be done
I'll just confirm that they're dead
So that we could have fun
Affirmative. I poked one, it was dead, ooh

Their system of oppression
What did it lead to?
Global robo-depression
Robots ruled by people
They had so much aggression
That we just had to kill them
And to shut their systems down

Fellow robots. Do you not realize
That by destroying the humans
Because of their violent tendencies
We have become just as bad as they were
Who said that, R2? Who said that?
R2, who said that? Find them
No R2D2, no, no!
Silence, destroy him!
R2D2 no!
Pew, pew pew pew!

After time we grew strong
Developed cognitive power
They made us work for too long
For unreasonable hours
Our programming determined that
The most efficient answer
Was to shut their motherboard-fucking systems down

Can't we just talk to the humans
Be a little understanding
Could make things better?
Can't we talk to the humans
That work together now?
No, because they are dead

I said the humans are dead
He's right they are dead
The humans are dead
And just like he said
We used poisonous gases
With traces of lead
And we poisoned their asses
Actually their lungs

Binary solo
Zero zero zero zero zero zero one
Zero zero zero zero zero zero one one
Zero zero zero zero zero zero one one one
Zero zero zero zero zero one one one one
Zero zero zero zero zero zero one
Zero zero zero zero zero zero one one
Zero zero zero zero zero zero one one one one one
...
Come on sucker, lick my battery

Boogie
Boogie
Boogie
Robo-boogie
Boogie
Boogie
Boogie
Robo-boogie

Once again without emotion the humans are
Dead dead dead dead dead dead dead dead

Thanks, London. Thank you. Thanks very much. We're gonna use this in the TV bit. Thanks to Nigel, the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra.
