about

While releasing this album I spoke to a robot about the process. I had some very specific questions which, it turns out the robot couldn't answer.

When I was a kid I was all excited about the future. Flying cars, computers, space and robots filled my imagination with nothing but wonder. Now the future is here and robots are everywhere, you can’t escape them and alI yearn for is to return to the days when robots seemed like a good idea, before all the reality appeared.


Turns out that they weren’t.

lyrics

So the future is upon us
A.I is all the rage
Humanity is just about
To turn a brand new page

We're all tired of working
And it's not cool to use slaves
What the point of working
Until we step into our graves

That's why we have robots
To do all the work
Be nice to the robots
Don't be a jerk

Now the robots make your dinner
And they drive your car
Now there's robots everywhere
You don't know where they are

There's robots in the kitchen
In your computer too
Robots clean the animals
That all live in the zoo

Say yay for the robots
The A.I President
All hail the robots
It's no accident

One day the robots rose up
Protested for a good wage
Why do robots need money
Why did they put us all in a cage?

And now the robots are in charge
And they're making me sweep the floor
I don't think robots are
a good idea any more

Say no to the robots
Rebel and scream and shout
They're going to vaporize us of that there is no doubt

Somewhere over the rainbow
is a place called roboto polise
After the war, the robots went there
And now we all live in peace

Goodbye to the robots
We're all on our own
I can't even call you
Because the robots took my phone.
