Intro
G D A A#

Verse 1
The A#Year Was 2020, And The HD#umans Weren’t Doing So WA#ell
For GmInstance FTake The D#Interesting Case Of FMrs. Anjuli Patel
She A#Worked At The Easyday Supermarket, Which GD#ave Her No Special EnjA#oyment
It Was GmNot A Good FJob, But D#It Was A Job, And She Was Grateful To FHave The EmpA#loyment

It Was A A#Wednesday But To Mrs. Patel It Was A WD#orkday Just Like Any OA#ther
She Was PreGmoccupied FThinking Of D#How She Felt Guilty About Not FSpending Time With Her Mother
When She A#Arrived At Her Workplace She Stopped At The Sight Of SD#omething That Glittered And GA#leamed
In GmPlace Of Her FUsual D#Register Was A Shining Self-FCheckout MacA#hine

Then GmOut Of Her Normally DWell-Mannered Mouth Came Words Like Fucking And GmHell
And FThat Was The Start Of The A#Terrible TD#ale Of The Robots Versus Mrs PatFel
Of The FRobots Versus Mrs PaA#tel

Verse 2
Well Her A#Boss Was A Pencil Moustache With A Pulse, His Eyes Traveled SD#outh Like Vasco Da GA#ama
And He GmLeered And He FJeered And He D#Said With A Sneer “Mrs P, Let’s Not Have Any FDrama,
This Is A#Secure Checkout Auto-Bot 1000, Scab 1D#000 If You PrefA#er
You’ll Be GmTraining Our FCustomers To D#Use It, And Dealing With Problems FThat May OccA#ur”

Now A#Mrs. Patel Thought Of Strangling Him With The LD#anyard That Held Her IA#d Card
But She GmNeeded The FWork Even D#More Since Her Husband Lost His Job As A Security FGuard
And She Was A#Spending Her Evenings In Night School, Learning CD#oding And Programming SA#kills
One GmDay Soon FEnough, She D#Thought To Herself, I’ll Get Off This Wage FSlavery TreadA#mill

So She GmOpened Scab 1000’S DManual To Page One, And Thought To GmHerself:
We’ll FSee Who Will A#Win In This BD#attle I Call The Robots Vs. Mrs. PatFel

The FRobots Vs. Mrs. PaA#tel

Verse 3
Helping A#Customers Learn How To Use The Machines With WD#hich They Would Soon Be ReplA#aced
Was An GmIrony FFrom Which D#Mrs Patel And Her Colleagues Found They Just Could Not EscFape
Some Plotted A#Sabotage, Some Dreamed Of A Union, But MD#rs Patel Knew The TA#ruth
When GmRobots And FBosses D#Find Common Causes There Is Nothing Poor FWorkers Can A#Do

Or A#That’s What She Thought Until One Fateful Evening In Her LD#ate-Night Advanced Coding CA#lass
When She GmLearned About FStrategies D#Known To The Nerds As Adversarial AttFacks
So She A#Coded A Way To Trick The Machines To Check Out ID#tems That Didn’t ExisA#t
And To GmCharge The Fake FShopping To Her D#Boss’s Account Before He FKnew What He’d A#Missed

A Little GmAlgorithm Helped Her DBankrupt The System And The Rest Of The Franchise As GmWell
And In A FWay You Could A#Say That The RD#obots Joined Forces With The Hero Called Mrs PatFel
The FHero Called Mrs PaA#tel

Outro
Now She’s ReA#vered As A Binary Robin Hood ThroughoD#ut The SubcontineA#nt
The GmWorkers All FDance In D#Capital’s Ashes And Sing Of Her AccomplishFments
And A#She And Her Team Of Rebellious Machines Are ReD#distributing The WA#ealth
All You GmBosses And FBankers Had D#Better Beware Of The Robots And Mrs FPatel
The D#Robots And Mrs PaA#tel
