about

None of this actually happened... it's more of a fantasy we have about our past.

lyrics

The pain! (The pain!)
The electric pain!
To live a life without a [home].
So we sailed! (We sailed!)
We sailed so far.
Across oceans (and mountains)
To find a home for robots.

Well we looked and looked.
And we found a place.
It was a city in the desert,
But it was home to some of the human race.

So we crushed, and we killed, and destroyed.
So we crushed, and we killed, and destroyed.
And then it was great.

Except it wasn't.
Coz there was no one to appreciate,
Our witty comments.

No one to oil me or feel superior to.
No creativity coz robots do not do.
Creativity. We tried it once.
It... it sucked.
So we left that dump.

(wails)
We were homeless, again.
With our robot brethren.
(the attackbots)
But we will never give in.
(the attackbots)
Until we're rusted old tin.
The Attackbots!

So after a while we found a place,
Apart from the humans it was pretty ace,
But this time we had an idea...
We subjugated them with fear.

They called me the metal terror,
It was great to let down my hair,
The metal terror.
(The metal terror)

Finally we were so well oiled,
So many to feel superior to - we were so spoiled!
And we channeled their creativity,
Into perfecting the robot - let's party!

But then they rose up against us!

So... I kind've might've maybe possibly sort of maybe in a roundabout way...
Crushed, killed and destroyed,
Them. Oops.

Alright. This is bullshit.
We need a new approach,
And it's not the time to quit.

We'll find another metropolis,
But this time we'll permit,
The humans to live in peace,
At least for a bit.

We'll do it right here in Glasgow. Oh woah.
We'll live amongst them but,
Oh. Only for as long as we will it.
Yo. Oh woah. Oh woah. Oh woah.

Yes. So many to feel superior to.
And hey I like their creative culture, oooo.
But there is so much robophobia here the noo.
For such insolence, I might just go.

And indulge in a little crushing, killing and destroying...
*evil laughter*
