Rights For Robot: 2093 Lyrics

Human rights for it and me
Said the PHD at MIT
In 2093 (2093)
We're giving them an equal worth,
They not of the earth or human birth
In 2093 (2093)
They think, conduct, transmit and feel
These men of steel, this hyper-real
In 2093 (2093)
Their sole agenda to survive
And stay alive and thrive and thrive
In 2093

Whoa!
"Our machines are disturbingly lively,
We, ourselves, frighteningly inert"

Create a sturdy human shape
With mouths agape like evolved from apes
In 2093 (2093)
Concise, efficient are their means,
More so it seems than human beings
In 2093 (2093)
They'll start with tasks no man desires
And never tire while fighting fires
In 2093 (2093)
When these jobs fill we'll find them more
And don't get sore when they take yours
In 2093

Whoa!
"Our machines are disturbingly lively, We, ourselves, frighteningly inert"
If God is dead this proves it,
Soulless robots inherit the earth
We are so damned dependent
And from here it only will get worse

Who's that you were talking to?
I swear it looked just like you
What's that down in the basement,
Could it be your replacement?
What's that that's coming at cha,
Human or simulacra?
(Robots sleep in robot beds, have robot dreams in robot
heads...)
Human or simulacra?
Human or simulacra?
What's that that's coming at cha,
(Robots sleep in robot beds, have robot dreams in robot
heads...)
Human or simulacra?
Rights for life, free-will, forethought,
But please, no rights for robots!

If God is dead this proves it,
Soulless robots inherit the earth
We are so damned dependent
And from here it only will get worse
