Robot Jaws

Technology takeover anxiety

I don’t trust robots

because I know that robots can do a lot,

but I know that one day

robots will make us lose the plot.

No, I don’t trust robots.

I don’t trust robots

because robots don’t get blood clots

and robots don’t have snot or spots,

and robots don’t need haircuts.

I think that robots can hear us,

even when we’re out of earshot.

No, I don’t trust robots.

I don’t trust robots,

no, robots are non-stop

laptop Sherlocks’,

tick-tock, yes!

Robots have built in clocks

and one day I reckon robots will be there to put our socks on for us.

I don’t trust robots,

no, robots don’t get sores,

robots don’t have bruises or scars,

robots can’t cry and robots don’t get sad

because robots don’t have human flaws,

but we’ve all got robot jaws

stuck in our bones,

and they won’t let go.
