Robots Are Taking Over

Yeah It's Envy Mike Skinner Yo, the robots are taking over, the robots are taking over STOP [Verse 1: Mike Skinner] Catch the light of understanding learn the night is underhanded On the grass the fall of blossom, all alone and lost We are not progressing but technology does By that definition it will plod on by us Reliance on science and compliant as the pious until China decides on defiance with fire And takes out our science with a virus outside the unsight in the sky giving a right old blinding Automated ways may be lazier than late Assisted by the crunching of the things we used to lunch on Taxi to the airport Packed up in a flare up Whacked out say a prayer for Sat with all that care At zero cost to build Now on distribution bills Clever algorithms selling things that might appeal Slip off your shoes, trip on some glue, slip off your muse, give us a clue STOP [Verse 2: Envy] Look, these days life's so treacherous Coalition too knows, etchi-sketching us And if they take it all what's left for the rest of us? Seems like there's no hope left in us Cos they've been watching us, testing us Now they're at the airports undressing us Giving out signals and we don't know how its affecting us - nah [Verse 3: Elro] Look, I don't wanna be an outcast But my email's spam 3000 [?] I'm about to blast off, feeling like a cast off, with all of this rap stuff I'm riddled with many men and I'm pissed off Trying to make progress, tick list off Talk to many men on my email Too much, deep breath, now inhale [Verse 4: Envy] Whoever invented them saved the day And I don't wanna rain on their parade They paved the way, but it's never gonna stay the same Now they're taking our jobs, tailor made My mind used to be as sharp as a razor blade Now they know my password, and my pin code, my favourite colour and my mum's maiden name We used to control it but now we let it control us Made it to connect us but it turned us into loners (loners!) Now they double check our names and act like they don't know us And if one day they turn then they will certainly dethrone us The robots are taking over The robots are taking over The robots are taking over The robots are taking over I've had a hard life, check my hard drive, dig around for in my mind for the archives
