LIFELIKE ROBOT from Wrong Enemy by Arch Rockfeller

LIFELIKE ROBOT

Lifelike robot – Come behold our destiny
Lifelike robot – Most qualified in history

Welcome to our showroom, yes folks step right up and see
As we present this marvel of technology
Compared to flesh and blood it’s not that good of an excuse
Nonetheless in politics we find it has its use

Lifelike robot – Awkward motion and strange fits
Lifelike robot – And we don’t know the half of it

Facial muscles moving, simulacrum of concern
Approximately faking the feelings it can’t learn
Human warmth, compassion - those are difficult to feign
It does much better showing the deplorables disdain

Lifelike robot – It coughs and it explodes with rage
Lifelike robot – Not well enough to stand on stage

Styled for an appearance close-ish to normality
Set up a candid photo, convincing as can be
Now no-one could question its impending wild success
How devoted to it are the members of the press!
Which imagined grievance will its policy redress?
And which lofty principle is it now claiming to profess?

Lifelike robot – Sign of empire in decay
Lifelike robot – What’s it lying ‘bout today
