Robots Will Eat All Of Us

Joe Pegasus Band | Irish Folk-Tech Lament
From porch prophecy to pixel parody, Robots Would Eat All of Us is an Irish folk-inspired hymn for a world tangled in technology and nostalgia. With lyrics that nod to historical panic—from the telephone to TV to toaster bots—Joe Pegasus and his band deliver a soulful satire on the eternal fear of progress.
Featuring traditional instrumentation, modern melancholy, and a chorus you can chant in torchlight or stream at midnight, this song asks a timeless question: What if the robots were just misunderstood musicians?
📀 Genre: Irish Folk / Celtic Fusion
🎻 Vibe: Nostalgic, ironic, glitch-tinged storytelling

Robots Will Eat All Of Us
[Verse 1]
Oh they said if the towers grew taller than trees,
We’d forget how to ride, lose the feel of the breeze.
They mourned for the horses, for hay in the shed—
“Progress,” they cursed, “will leave nature for dead!”
[Chorus]
The fog still rolls and the fiddle still bites,
The kettle still sings on these cold Irish nights.
Let Sorkin lament and the old guard discuss—
They swore that the robots would eat all of us.
[Verse 2]
Bell’s cursed machine put our farmhands to rest,
With wires and voices and signals and stress.
Then the telly, she came, bold and unchaste—
“The radio’s ruined,” they muttered in haste.
Now I’ve got a Roomba that sweeps while I hum,
And the cow texts me jokes from her virtual chum.
[Bridge]
What is a tool but the twist of a tune?
We shape it, we break it, by midnight or noon.
From horses to horseless to chips in the clay—
We still walk the fields at the end of the day.
[Final Chorus]
So sing me a verse that the prophets forgot,
Strung through with laughter and tangled in thought.
The future’s a fable, a chorus, a cusp—
They said the robots would eat all of us…
