Killer Robot Droids

From the album Periplaneta, released April 2002

The killer robot droids was an idea that started in Ulan-Ude. The idea is that the robot droids come into the city (they hover) and they only shoot those who are afraid. So, the secret is to not be afraid.

Lyrics

[Words and Music by Jansen Price and Dave Nyous]

I was sitting in my office one night
Looking down at my feet.
When I looked out the window
And saw the chaos on the street.

The people were running around
Escaping something to avoid
And I could hear through their shouts
The sounds of the droids.

Attack of the robot droids
Has come into our town
I can hear the laser blasts
As the people all fall down.

I remember a dream I had
A long time ago in my sleep
In which was revealed the secret of the droids
By which you can defeat them

Don't be frightened at all
And they will leave you alone.
Don't sream or make a noise
And you'll be safe at home.

Attack of the robot droids
Has come into our town
I can hear the laser blasts
As the people all fall down
They shoot those who are frightened
They shoot those who are scared
They shoot those who are screaming
And those caught unprepared

I got shot in the arm the other day
And it sure hurt like heck
And you should see my apartment building
They turned it into a wreck.

Remember the secret of the droids
Don't scream, don't look, don't stare
Don't run, don't hide, don't close your eyes
Just ignore 'em and they'll leave you there

Attack of the robot droids
Has come into our town
I can hear the laser blasts
As the people all fall down...
