GC
The machines run all day / In a building by the bay
DG
As they pick and place components on a board
GCDG
Loading diodes and resistors / Capacitors, transistors
CDG
All for just a minimal reward
GC
Little robot arms are busy / At a speed that makes you dizzy
DG
Then the PCBs come sliding down the ramp
GCDG
Electric cannon fodder / To be checked for broken solder
CDG
Then racked and stacked and packed with cargo stamp
GC
Racing on the line / It's how I spend my time
DG
Everyday from dark to dark again
GCDG
This is how they work us / It's an entertaining circus
CDG
And it never, ever, never really ends
GC
Components on a reel / That lock in place by feel
DG
Add a stack of stock from nearby crates
GCDG
Load a program for the thing / And a warning bell will ring
CDG
And if you look you'll see the message states:
CG
We're making robots / That make the other robots
DG
That fix the robots everybody uses
CGCG
For industry and schools / Some military tools
CDG
We build devices ev'ry household chooses
GC
Little robot arms are flying / Building circuits without crying
DG
With precision know to only engineers
GCDG
To pass with each inspection / Reqires neat perfection
CDG
But the robots have no need of human fears
GC
The AI writes the code / A program now will load
DG
That has no need of human interface
GCDG
In time the code evolves / Addressing problems that it solves
CDG
Until a monster rises in it's place
REFRAIN
GC
Little robot arms are making / Bigger robots that are taking
DG
Control of all the land and air and sea
GCDG
To late we see the danger / From the robots that got stranger
CDG
Patrolling now where humans used to be
GC
In our hunt for greater good / Did we wonder if we should
DG
Use technology to bridge the untold miles?
GCDG
As missiles fall from space / To kill the human race
CDG
In a bunker underground now Skynet smiles
CG
It's making robots / That make the killer robots
DG
That hunt the people hiding in the rubble
CGCG
No industry or schools / Just military tools
CDG
We built devices that just cause us trouble
