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
