Lyrics
Robots robots up in space
Built in lots of sizes, styles and shapes
Robots robots down on earth
Do your jobs for you, steal your work
They assist us
And think for us
But they might trick us
And do too much... in a rush
Robots robots armed with tools
Fixing things and filling up with fuel
Robots robots well-equipped
Help to fight in battle
Fly your ship
They improve life
But we rely
They might rule by
Running our lives... over time
Beep bop boop bop, what did they say?
Boop bop beep bop, "we're here to stay"
Robots robots seem so real
Act and talk like us but they can't feel
Robots robots, we're obsessed
Seems they might take over be a pest
They are programmed
And made by man
But machines jam
When it's not planned... no command
Beep bop boop bop, what did they say?
Boop bop beep bop, "we're here to stay"
Robots robots everywhere
Robots robots everywhere
Robots robots everywhere
Robots robots everywhere
Beep bop boo
