Robots in the Barn

about

They don't make noise, so I now have to expound on how they're a logical future instead of just typing *boop beep*.

lyrics

--verse 1
on this moon we’re building a farm
grow us some corn and do no harm
sell it at the market down by the crater
grow some food for all these haters

there's very little oxygen in the air
but these earth plants, they love it here
soil’s got nitrogen in every form
and there's no more insect swarms, which is nice

and no tractor, no detassling ears.
no-one driving, have no fear.
they speak peer to peer!

---chorus---
the robots in the barn
the robots in the barn
servos whine at maintenance time
for the robots in the barn

the robots in the barn
there are robots in the barn
it pays to know binary codes
for the robots in the barn

--verse 2
this settlement is pretty barebones
but we still think of it as our home
and we got whiskey, from alien corn
it only tastes good when you have some more

long way to go on the terraform
so for now we still live in domes and dorms
and when it's clear, it’s a pretty view
cause the sky is purple and the mountains are blue

but, if you’re coming here, study your C - I know, I know, you learned quantum in college, but Unix still runs on

--chorus
the robots in the barn
the robots in the barn
no boopin or beepin, but they still reapin’
for the robots in the barn

yes robots in the barn
there are robots in the barn
watch live from europa, from your sofa,
they’re growing shrimp and sharks and stuff, it’s pretty unreal

robots in the barn
the robots in the barn
just be a cheapskate and orchestrate
for the robots in the barn

yes robots in the barn
there are robots in the barn
computer reference, insert here
for the robots in the barn

this is like my 5th take of this outro
and I'm getting really sick of it
so thanks for listening! egh
