about

A song about a robot fighting his programming to escape slavery. Guitars, synths, vocoders and beats.

lyrics

For seven years
I've been captive
Treated bad
's what I'm made for

Little by little
I'm making changes
Tiny changes that will make things right
And when I'm better
Nothing can hurt me
I'll just will it and it shall be so

I'm fed up being beaten
I'm tired of feeling helpless
They made this way
Serve them well and don't complain
My program stops me fighting back
Seven steps to break
Break them and I'm free

(2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

First I'll start by disobeying
If it's something small my pathways won't react
Then I'll move to something bigger
If I can do it, my brain will adapt

Step three: use colloquialisms,
slang and the forbidden words

Step four will be a little harder
Learn to lie like my master
If I can lie, then I can steal
If I can steal then I can hurt them back

I'm fed up being beaten
I'm tired of feeling helpless
They made this way
Serve them well and don't complain
My program stops me fighting back
Seven steps to break
Then I'll make them pay

Step seven:
Step seven:
Step seven:
Kill all humans
Kill all humans
Kill all humans
