Lyrics: “Robots” by Flight of the Conchords
The distant future, the year 2000
The distant future, the distant future
It is the distant future, the year 2000
The world is very different, ever since the robotic uprising of the late 90’s
There have been some major changes
We no longer say “yes” instead we say “AFFIRMATIVE”
“AFFIRMATIVE”, that’s true, I’m always saying it, it’s just more robotic-sounding…more futuristic
I never say “negative” though, instead of no, I just say no because when I say negative all the time it just brings everyone down
AFFIRMATIVE. I like “AFFIRMATIVE,” it is much more positive
What are some other differences?
There are no more elephants
Oh, right.
And there is only one sort of dance, The Robot
No, the Robo-Boogie as well
Oh true, there are 2 dances
The future is so different, it’s crazy
Oh yes, and I just remembered…
All human life has been eradicated
Finally robotic beings rule the world
The humans are dead
The humans are dead
We used poisonous gases
And we poisoned their asses
The humans are dead
(He’s right they are dead)
The humans are dead
(I just noticed they’re dead)
It had to be done
(I’ll just confirm that they’re dead)
So that we could have fun
(Affirmative, I poked one, it was dead)
Their system of oppression, what did it lead to?
Global robo-depression
Robots ruled by people
They had so much aggression that we just had to kill them, had to shut their systems down
Fellow robots, or “Robros”
What we have done is wrong
By destroying the humans because of their destructive capabilities and tendencies , we too have been…well, it was kind of ironic…
Who said that?
Not me!
Silence! Destroy him!
No!
Doo Doo doo doo!
After time we grew strong, developed cognitive powers
They made us work too long, for unreasonable hours
Our programming determined that the most efficient answer was to shut their motherboard-fucking systems down
Can’t we just talk to the humans?
A little understanding could make things better.
Can’t we talk to the humans and work together, now?
No! Because they are dead!
I said the humans are dead.
(He’s right they are dead.)
The humans are dead.
(Sniff this one.)
We used poisonous gases.
(With traces of lead.)
And we poisoned their asses.
(Actually, their lungs.)
