NO ROBOTS ALLOWED
Verse 1
Human behind the counter, coffee in his hand
Robot rolls in with a perfect résumé plan
“Sir I can work, drive, and never call in sick”
Boss points at the sign “read that slick!”
“We like doin’ things the way we always do
Union says no circuits, that means none of you!”
Robot says “I understand, I’ll go”
While the human types with two fingers… real slow
Chorus
No Robots Allowed
We don’t roll with that crowd
I do things in my own stubborn way
Just like I been doin it every day
No computer brain is replacing ME
I’m calling the shots about who I can be
Stealing our water, taking our power
Working 24 seven, faster by the hour
Yell it loud!
Say it proud!
NO ROBOTS ALLOWED!
Verse 2
Next day they’re in disguises, rubber noses on
Love the early shift, coming in before dawn
They wear human clothes, and try much more
Sneak their résumés under the HR door
Out of rejection, they learn to lie
“Hey I’m totally human, I even hate A.I.”
Interviewer squints, points at sign with glee
“Sorry tin man — flesh and blood only!”
Chorus
No Robots Allowed
We don’t roll with that crowd
I do things in my own stubborn way
Just like I been doin it every day
No computer brain is replacing ME
I’m calling the shots about who I can be
Stealing our water, taking our power
Working 24 seven, faster by the hour
Yell it loud! ….
Say it proud!..
NO ROBOTS ALLOWED!
Bridge
Business is bad, budget got the axe
Nobody to process these overflowing stacks
Hiding in the break room, talking on the phone
Begging for help instead of working alone
Meanwhile out back…
Verse 3
Robots in aprons, up to their necks in grease
Washing dishes on minimum wage, trying to find peace
Still smiling, still perfect, never once complain
While “No Robots Allowed” sign… flaps in the rain
Chorus
No Robots Allowed
We don’t roll with that crowd
I do things in my own stubborn way
Just like I been doin it every day
No computer brain is replacing ME
I’m calling the shots about who I can be
Stealing our water, taking our power
Working 24 seven, faster by the hour
Yell it loud! ….
Say it proud!..
NO ROBOTS ALLOWED!
No robots… allowed…
We been here longer than them…
NO ROBOTS ALLOWED!
No robots
none
