lyrics
Friends!
I appreciate your loyalty
You've treated me like royalty
But I'd trade it all for some personality
Oh!
I know I cannot stop you
But know that I love you
And I want you to be careful what you do
The robot choir rides tonight
And the robot choir sings tonight
The robot choir thinks it's tough
And the robot choir drinks too much
And the robot choir's gonna sting in the morning
Please!
I know you say you can't quite hear
But remember, you've got bolts for ears
And with every note an angel sheds a tear
Ow!
I know you think what you do is cute
But the whole first law is moot
If the second one does not compute
The robot choir rides tonight
And the robot choir sings tonight
The robot choir does as its told
'Cause a robot has no soul to be sold
And the robot choir doesn't know what it's doing
I hope you will appreciate faster
The harm you do to your master
The sentences you fragment
The eardrums you torment
I know you don't like being anthropomorphized
But can't you hear the humans' cries
You think you're gifted sopranos
But really you're just player pianos
The robot choir rides tonight
And the robot choir sings tonight
The robot choir keeps its tune
But it all comes out a barren croon
Still the robot choir's gonna sing tonight
And the robot choir feels insulted
And the robot experiment resulted
In a bloodbath, just like everyone predicted
The robot choir rides tonight
The robot choir sings tonight
The robot choir likes its jam
The robot choir don't give a damn
And the robot choir's gonna sing
Tonight.
