Lyrics

The Robots

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

We're charging our battery

And now we're full of energy

[Chorus]

We are the robots

We are the robots

We are the robots

We are the robots

[Verse 2]

We're functioning automatic

And we are dancing mechanic

[Chorus]

We are the robots

We are the robots

We are the robots

We are the robots

[Interlude]

Я твой слуга

Я твой работник

Я твой слуга

Я твой работник

[Verse 3]

We are programmed just to do

Anything you want us to

[Chorus]

We are the robots

We are the robots

We are the robots

We are the robots

[Verse 2]

We're functioning automatic

And we are dancing mechanic

[Chorus]

We are the robots

We are the robots

We are the robots

We are the robots

[Interlude]

Я твой слуга

Я твой работник

Я твой слуга

Я твой работник

[Chorus]

We are the robots

We are the robots

We are the robots

We are the robots

We are the robots

We are the robots

We are the robots

We are the robots

We are the robots

We are the robots

We are the robots

We are the robots

We are the robots

We are the robots

We are the robots

We are the robots

We are the robots

We are the robots
