about

Since the beginning of robots, we've planned for how they will usurp our power.

lyrics

A ROBOT’S JUST A TOOL

A robot may be strong
But a robot’s just a tool
Like a wrench, it does a job
‘Though we don’t buy that as a rule

The robots in our dreams
Have coil arms stretched from claws to chrome
From the factory they march right
To the workplace to the home

Since the first monotone was spoken
The malfunction mold’s been broken

As we lurch toward a dream
With a nightmare color scheme

A tool chest full of wrenches
Humanity it clenches

As cautioned without fail
In ever cautionary tale

You mustn’t trust the rust inside the man-made heart.

A robot may be strong
But a robot’s just a tool
When it’s put together wrong

The spine provides a balance
To the chassis and the frame
And it serves as a connector
To the outlets in the brain

The spring that’s like a heart
Must be wound tightly to impart
Motion where connected
To the moving parts directed

By the robot’s inner needs
And robot’s inner dreams

That run along the spine
From the outlets in the mind

To the man-made heart

And when you see what I’ve done
You’ll agree
And when you see what I’ve built
You’ll thank me
And when you see what it does
You might scream
It’s necessary because
It’s always been man’s dream

The spring that’s like a heart
Must be wound tightly to impart
Motion where connected
To the moving parts directed

That run along the spine
From the outlets in the mind

To the man-made heart

And when you see what I’ve done
You’ll agree
And when you see what I’ve built
You’ll thank me

When you see what it does
You might scream
It’s necessary because

It’s always been my
And the rest of mankind’s dream.
