Flight of the Conchords - Robots



Some lyrics to the song (not mine!)

The distant future
The year 2000

It is the distant future,
The year 2000
We are robots
The world is quite different
Ever since the robotic uprising of the late 90's
There is no more unhappiness
Affirmative
We no longer say "yes",
Instead we say affirmative
Yes, affirmative

Unless we know that robot-robot really well
(...)
Well, there's no more elephants, so
But still there're good answers

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
It's right, they are dead
The humans are dead
They look like 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

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,
Had to shut their systems down.

Robo captain, do you not realize that by destroying the human race
because of their destructive tendencies,
we too have become like,
well...it's ironic. (mm) Cause we...
Silence! Destroy him!
DOO! (boo!) Dooboodoo!

After time we grew strong,
Developed cognitive powers,
They made us work for too long,
For unreasonable hours.
Our programming determined
that the most efficient answer
was to shut their mother board fucking systems down.

Can't we just talk to the humans?
Their little understanding might make things better.
Can't we talk to the humans, and work together now?
No, because they are dead!

Binary solo!

0000001, 00000011
000000111, 00001111
0000001, 00000011
000000111, 00001111

Come on sucker, lick my battery
Boogie, boogie
Boogie, robo boogie
The humans are dead
Once again without emotion,

The Humans are dead dead dead
Dead dead dead-
