about

Society shapes people from an early age to conform and fulfill the role it decides for us, or else. But when you suddenly find yourself banished from the path you were given because of your differences, perhaps the alternative isn't as bad as they make it seem.

lyrics

[Intro]
(Beep boop, beep boop)
(Beep boop, beep boop)
(Beep boop, beep boop)

[Verse 1]
There once was a little robot
Who loved zeros and ones
Programmed to calculate
Inconceivable sums

[Verse 2]
Each day its algorithm
Grew faster and smarter still
Driven to make its creator proud
And justify its bill

[Pre-Chorus]
Determined never to belong
With the droids who'd gone wrong
In the robot graveyard
Every young robot learns
No one ever returns
From the robot graveyard

[Chorus]
The robot graveyard
The robot graveyard

[Verse 3]
Then one day our robot friend
Suffered a tiny glitch
The robot's program went berserk
It begged the creator to be fixed

[Verse 4]
No longer making revenue
Another model rose to fame
The robot was discarded
No patch ever came

[Pre-Chorus]
They sent our little robot
To suffer and rot
In the robot graveyard
Every young robot learns
No one ever returns
From the robot graveyard

[Chorus]
The robot graveyard
No one ever returns
(The robot graveyard)
No one ever returns

[Bridge]
(Whoa!)
What a surprise to find
Droids with fulfilling lives
Offbeat old machines
Living out their wildest dreams
Past what the robot knew
Grass, trees and flowers grew
And so the robot dreamed and sowed
A life beyond binary code
In the robot graveyard

[Outro]
(Beep boop, beep boop)
(Beep boop, beep boop)
No one ever returns
(From the robot graveyard)
(Beep boop, beep boop)
And why would they?
