the slackers - robots [2/14]

For years I have heard of
The coming of robots.
But now I know that
The robots are here.
Either automaton
Or else humble servant.
Either way they are robot
Either way theyre not human.
They need electronic impulse to provide information
They need electronic impulse to provide relaxation.
They need electronic impulse to make every decision.
If thats not a robot, then tell me what is.
See Ive read of cyborgs
In old science fiction.
Those partly human
And those partly machine.
That when they are commanded,
Ooh, they do what theyre ordered.
The machine is strong
As the human is weak.
So now Im talking to cell phones
Im using microwave ovens
From automatic tollbooths to banking machines
My mind is clouded
With digital static
With more information
Man, than I can receive.
So Im runnin for cover
Out to the country
Beneath the cover of treetops.
And under the leaves.
I know up in the heavens
The little cameras can see me
That if I step foot on
the old civilized streets
See, I must escape from
The mechanical army
Their cold eyes staring
And hard x-ray beams.
Their minds a computer
I know they mean to harm me
As I skirt past the laws
And I slip through the seams.
See Ive only heard of
The coming of robots
And now the robots
Are all that I see
I see them wearing the t-shirts
And by in the concerts
Theyre being just where theyre
Theyre supposed to be.
Drinking the coffee and eating the sugar
Ooh, I look in the mirror
Its you and its me.
See, I am a robot. (I am a robot)
I am a robot. (I am a robot)
I am a robot. (I am a robot)
Listen to me.
I am a robot. (I am a robot)
I am a robot. (I am a robot)
I am a robot. (I am a robot)
