[Laurie Anderson - Dr. Miller lyrics]
One of the reasons Chrysler has been
Running into such financial trouble lately
Is that there have been some problems
With the relay devices between the
Computers and the robot
Welders when a problem develops
Further up the line
It takes a long time for the computers
To tell the robot welders to
Stop so the robot welders continue to
Make these welding motions –
Dropping hot metal directly onto
The conveyor belt –
Even though there are no cars on the
Line building up a series
Of equidistant blobs
Of molten steel it takes several hours
For the computers to tell
The robot welders to
Stop and at the rate of 80
Cars per hour a typical plant is capable
Of manufacturing approximately 100
Of these blobs
Before the plant can be totally shut down
Running into such financial trouble lately
Is that there have been some problems
With the relay devices between the
Computers and the robot
Welders when a problem develops
Further up the line
It takes a long time for the computers
To tell the robot welders to
Stop so the robot welders continue to
Make these welding motions –
Dropping hot metal directly onto
The conveyor belt –
Even though there are no cars on the
Line building up a series
Of equidistant blobs
Of molten steel it takes several hours
For the computers to tell
The robot welders to
Stop and at the rate of 80
Cars per hour a typical plant is capable
Of manufacturing approximately 100
Of these blobs
Before the plant can be totally shut down
