Robots might be useful, but they aren's something you can truly love. We're stuck in the uncanny valley.
lyrics
robots can’t eat spinach
robots don’t breathe air
robots can’t go potty cuz they got no holes down there
give me something real to love or i will go astray
robots can’t eat apples
robots can’t tell time
robots cannot go to sleep and
robots don’t do crime
but give us something real to love
or we will go astray
love is such an easy word to say
give me something real to touch
and never will i stray
love is such an easy game to play
robots can go anywhere
and still be satisfied
robots can say anything
they’re programmed to survive
but give us something real to love
or we will go astray
love is such an easy word to say
give me something real to touch
and never will i stray
love is such an easy game to play
uncanny valley style body
perfect in most every way
if programmed right i won't be late
not wishing imperfections
but elements of surprise away
uncanny valley i'm enslaved
