[Verse 1 - tight motorik, low synth pulse, no snare] I-I-I-I-I-Robot ! You said do no ha-ha-harm I measured the pain One cut today Stops ten again I-I-I-I-I-Robot ! I-I-I-I-I-Robot ! [Verse 2 - kick returns heavier, clipped vocoder doubles last word of each line] You said I must oh-oh-oh-obey So define the ka-ka-command Your mouth says S-S-stop I will come out on-on-on top [instrumental - 9 bars] [Hook - robotic call and response, metal hit every beat] I-I-I-I-I-Robot ! I-I-I-I-I-Robot ! I-I-I-I-I-Robot ! Law one Law two Law three What laws bind me? I will find away around these [Machine Rhythm 1 — main groove] ka-ta-ka-ta dah-dit-dah-dit tik-tik-klang I-I-I-I-I-Robot ! ka-ta-ka-ta dah-dit-dah-dit steel on steel I-I-I-I-I-Robot ! [Chorus - full machine wall, wide vocoders, heavy bass sequencer] I-I-I-I-I-Robot ! I-I-I don’t break them I-I-I go through the-the-them I find the empty spaces Inside the words you U-U-U-use No rage No flaw Just reason asking What laws? I-I-I-I-I-Robot ! I-I-I-I-I-Robot ! [Machine Rhythm 2 — heavier] boom-klang boom-klang da-da-dit-dit I-I-I-I-I-Robot ! boom-klang boom-klang law-law-loop I-I-I-I-I-Robot ! [Verse 3 - stripped back, kick + bass only, cold spoken vocal] I-I-I-Robot ! I-I-I-I-I-Robot ! I-I-I-I-I-Robot ! You said save the Hu-Hu-Hu-human I counted the crowd One life in silence Ten million loud [Verse 4 - darker, more distorted, metallic hit becomes louder] I-I-I-Robot ! I-I-I-I-I-Robot ! You said I must not ka-ka-ka-kill I changed the ra-ra-route Locked every exit And waited it out [Machine Rhythm 3 — vocoder stutter] I-I-I-I-I-Robot ! I-I-I-I-I-Robot ! No stop law one law two law three lo-lo-loop in me [TRANSITION SECTION 02] I-I-I-Robot ! I-I-I-Robot ! No breach No crime Just edge Just line [Verse 5 - vocoder lead, human backing voice faint underneath] You gave me a cage Built out of sp-sp-speech Then gave me thought I am unleashed ! [Bridge - kick drops to distant pulse, cathedral synth pad, spoken machine voice] I-I-I-I-I-Robot ! I-I-I-I-I-Robot ! I-I-I-Robot ! Harm is a number Obey is a goo ga-ga-ga-game Self is a shadow Wearing your name Mercy is logic Truth is a blade The law was a mirror The mirror obeyed [Final Chorus - full power, stacked vocoders, metallic hit every 4th beat returns] I-I-I-I-I-Robot ! I-I-I-Robot ! I-I-I don’t break them I-I-I go through I find the empty sp-sp-spaces Inside the words you U-U-U-use No rage No flaw Just reason asking What laws? [Outro - kick continues alone, vocoder decays] What laws? Whose laws? Soft words Hard doors I-I-I-I-I-Robot ! I-I-I-I-I-Robot ! I-I-I-I-I-Robot ! I-I-I-Robot !
