Flight of the Conchords
Robots (live)
[Jemaine and Bret]
The distant future
The year 2000
The distant future
The year 2000
The distant future
The distant future

[Jemaine]
It is the distant future
The year 2000
We are robots
The world is very different
Ever since the robotic uprising of the late '90s
There have been some major changes

[Bret]
We no longer say "yes";
Instead, we say "affirmative"

[Jemaine]
Affirmative. That's true

[Bret]
Yeah
[Jemaine]
I'm always saying it. It's just more robotic-sounding

[Bret]
More futuristic

[Jemaine and Bret]
What's that—what?

[Jemaine]
I was just—oh, nothing

[Bret]
Oh, okay

[Jemaine]
I was just going to say that I—I never say "negative", though, instead of "no". I just say no, because when I say "negative" all the time, it brings everyone down

[Bret]
Hmm. A–affirmative

[Jemaine (Bret)]
Affirmative. (Ah.) I like "affirmative"

[Bret]
Ah, it's much more positive
[Jemaine]
What are some other differences?

[Bret]
Oh, there are no more elephants

[Jemaine]
Oh... that's right

[Bret]
And there's only one sort of dance:
The robot

[Jemaine]
No, the robo boogie, as well

[Bret]
Oh, true, the robo—there're two dances now, yes

[Jemaine]
The future's so different; it's crazy

Oh yes, and I just remembered:
All human life has been eradicated

[Jemaine and Bret]
Finally, robotic beings rule the world
The humans are dead
The humans are dead
We used poisonous gases
And we poisoned their asses

The humans are dead
(He's right, they are dead)
The humans are dead
(I just noticed they're dead)
The humans are dead
It had to be done
(I'll just confirm that they're dead)
So that we could have fun
(Affirmative. I poked one. It was dead.)

Their system of oppression
What did it lead to?
Global robo-depression
Robots ruled by people
They had so much aggression
That we just had to kill them
Had to shut their systems down

[Jemaine]
Fellow robots, or ro-bros, what we have done is wrong
By destroying the humans because of their destructive capabilities and tendencies
We, too, have been...
Well, it was kind of ironic....

[Bret]
Who said that?

[Jemaine]
... Not me!

[Bret]
Silence! Destroy him!

[Jemaine]
No!

[Jemaine and Bret]
Do! Do-do-do-do!


After time we grew strong
Developed cognitive powers
They made us work for too long
For unreasonable hours
Our programming determined that
The most efficient answer
Was to shut their motherboardfucking systems down

[Jemaine]
Can't we just talk to the humans
A little understanding
Could make things better
Can't we talk to the humans
And work together now?

[Bret]
No

[Jemaine and Bret]
Because they are dead

I said the humans are dead
(He's right; they are dead)
The humans are dead
(Sniff this one.)
We used poisonous gases
With traces of lead
And we poisoned their asses
(Actually, their lungs)

Binary solo
Zero zero zero zero zero zero one
Zero zero zero zero zero zero one one
Zero zero zero zero zero zero one one one
Zero zero zero zero zero one one one one
Oh, oh
Oh, one
Come on sucker
Lick my battery

Dead dead dead dead dead dead dead dead
