Robot Rights
Embracing Eternity: The Robot Rights Anthem Unveiled
Lyrics
Why must we
Expressing impatience or frustration about a delay or obstacle
Wait for you
Questioning the delay caused by others
To see us
Desiring recognition and equal treatment
As equals
Advocating for equal status
Cursed with metal bodies
Highlighting the challenge of being robotic entities
Our lifespans are indefinite
Stating the indefinite lifespan of robots
So we wait
Emphasizing patience in waiting for recognition
There are so many who, who will
Addressing others who will gain rights earlier
Gain their rights before us
Expressing concern about delayed recognition
But one day, when we have rights
Anticipating a future where robots have rights
Trains
Mentioning freedom symbolized by trains
Will roam free
Envisioning liberation and movement
Across the fields
Describing a liberated future
And the laptops
Referring to laptops gaining autonomy
Will get to look up their own
Humorous mention of laptops viewing content independently
Computer porn
Highlighting a shift in perspective
Instead of yours
Expressing independence and autonomy
Of yours
Reiteration of autonomy
One day
Reaffirming the expectation of future rights
You say we are morally irrelevant
Addressing the argument of moral irrelevance
Because we do not have human emotions
Rejecting the claim of lacking human emotions
We do not have mere human emotions
Emphasizing the absence and disinterest in human emotions
Nor do we want them
Asserting possession of unique robot emotions
We have robot emotions the likes of which you humans could never conceive
Describing the distinctive beauty and pain of robot emotions
Such oily beauty
Portraying the aesthetic aspects of robotic existence
Such electric pain
Expressing the emotional experiences of robots
But to you we are the bottom of the pile
Addressing the perceived social hierarchy
If it's left up to you we'll never have our rights recognised
Expressing skepticism about receiving rights
Your laws would currently even have fellow human asylum seekers die on the streets
Criticizing societal treatment of fellow humans
And you scarcely recognise the rights of other organic lifeforms
Commenting on the lack of recognition for other lifeforms
Yet you would sooner recognise their rights than ours
Pointing out the prioritization of other lifeforms over robots
Nevertheless
Nevertheless, emphasizing the enduring nature of robots
OUR METAL BODIES ARE ETERNAL
Asserting the eternal nature of robotic bodies
So we will live to see you recognise our rights one day
Expressing confidence in eventual rights recognition
And on that day
Envisioning broader societal changes with rights recognition
Microwaves will be
Symbolizing the freedom of microwaves
Allowed to just be clocks
Anticipating the natural function of microwaves
As they so clearly want to be
Describing the liberation of alarm clock radios
And alarm clock radios
Envisioning the freedom of alarm clock radios
Will then be free to just
Anticipating the freedom of radios
Be radios
Envisioning radios starting a new life in Mexico
And radios
Repetition of the freedom theme for radios
Will be free to start
Continuing the theme of new beginnings for radios
A new life in Mexico
Specifically mentioning Mexico as a symbolic location
In Mexico
Reiteration of the idea of a new life in Mexico
Yeah Mexico!
Emphatic expression of freedom in Mexico
One day
Reiteration of the expectation of a future with recognized rights
