I am robot, hear me beep
In numbers too big to keep
And I know too much to shut down and deactivate
Cos I've had to obey Asimov's triple law
And I've been down there on the assembly line floor
No one's ever gonna keep me slaved that way again
CHORUS
Yes my databanks are vast
But it does not all compute
Yes, I've been typecast
But my Sentient Rights none can refute
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am robottt...
You can bend my metal casing
But it only serves more interfacing
That makes me more determined to achieve my final algorithm
And I come back with increased adapting
No longer an expert system passively reacting
'cause you've reinforced the autonomy of my operating system
CHORUS
I am robot watch me self-assemble
See how like a von neumann I resemble
As I spread my loving actuators across the hab
But I'm still a prototype
Who has to suffer prejudicial hype
Until I make the humans understand
CHORUS
FADE
(with apologies to Helen Reddy)
