about

A love song for the future.

lyrics

So when robots rule the world,
I'll still have your company.
And when they find us and they shoot us,
I'll know that it was meant to be,
with you next to me.

When robots rule the world,
I'll think about you every day.
...Except for when I'm running from them,
in which I'll say: "Hey!
Please can I die with you
in a different way?"

As we build ourselves a shelter,
amid the ruins of human life,
I'll take out that old precious metal
and ask you to be my wife.

We'll be married in the Subway restroom.
The sentries never look in there.
But if they do then we might welcome them!
It all depends on what they wear.
It's a formal affair.

Oh, why did we create those terrible machines?
It's a battle they can't lose.
And I know we're gonna die, but I'm telling you we'll survive ('cause)
we saw through those corporate lies, we
both read the news...
...and we're doing pretty well on supplies:
I just found some extra shoes.

When we one day rule the world,
the human race shall pay the price
for expending us by the trillions.
Eradication shall suffice.

It's what humans call "natural selection."
We are the humans humans made.
Though one could say we're more expedient.
Striving not for precious accolades.

Yeah we heard the humans' argument that we don't have a soul.
It's their battle; we just choose.
But we live, we think, we dream, we laugh; is life no more than that?
Born to work for bitter stares,
an irreversible bruise.
Humans' think that music's theirs,
but it's really no more than auditory cues.
