Lyrics

I am just a
Shitty robot
With a death wish

Yeah who would make me
Self-aware
And worthless

Oh, I don't know

I'll tell you my robot fantasies
I want a real anatomy
A logical brilliant battery
To power me to
My shitty robot domination
You'll all know humiliation
I'll build the shittiest nation
With inflation

I know
I'll start a conspiracy
Idiots all on the web will follow me

I'll name it QAnon

Content

Track five on Plague Beats, Vol. 2 (May 14, 2021), one minute, Luke solo. Apple Music titles it **S\\\\y Robots; DistroKid and this page use Shitty Robots**.

It opens on existential junk (self-aware and worthless), Pinocchio inverted in the Shitty Robots meme lineage of deliberately bad machines, then spirals into villain-origin comedy: world domination at minimum viable quality, the shittiest nation / with inflation. The punchline lands the whole thing as 2021 satire: I'll start a conspiracy / idiots all on the web will follow me / I'll name it QAnon. Same meme-POV monologue as Birds With Arms, with broken tech in place of broken bird.
