Bookending the 1st half of our EP is another song about the time when artificial intelligence becomes self aware. These humorous hypotheticals about Robots are predicated on the idea that like humans, Robots will undergo phases of development starting with infancy and childhood before arriving at the oft-dreaded adolescent years. It's a plea for understanding, really. Like their human analogs, teenage robots are going to fuck up and they're going to act like little shits, and we're all going to have to be okay with that.

lyrics
after the synapses are coated
dead links have been removed
all our laundry documented
and they can pick which news is fiction
smart enough to be angry
they are smart enough to be angry
able to separate satire
able to distrust their users
and with their mammal hands
those built on reptile robot arms
feeling in the moment
before they learn to plan
so let the robots learn
and eulogize yourself on your own time
so let the robots learn
and eulogize yourself on your own time
they’ll be running algorithms
they’ll be getting paranoid
they’ll be feeling insecure
and not understand the porn they're watching
and have many seasons of the Fresh Prince
enough Beyonce not enough Aliya
a number of auto-tuned wolves
and GIFs that illustrate scenes from Arrested Development
they’ll need some reassurance
input from their programers
a little sympathy
a little sympathy
they’ll spend more time than they need to load
shorting out and cutting off our access
being down
and springing back to life
these robots are children
these robots are children
these robots are kids
