The Robots are battling Satan for your soul this morning! Lyrically, the song discusses the role of robots as subservient workers to humans. The Russian lines "Я твой слуга" (Ya tvoy slugá, "I am your servant") and "Я твой работник" (Ya tvoy rabótnik, "I am your worker") (also on the rear sleeve of the album) during the intro and again during its repetition at the bridge are spoken in a pitched down voice, the main lyrics ("We're charging our batteries and now we're full of energy...") are "sung" through a vocoder; the latter line references the Russian origins of the word 'robot'. The song's refrain became a major identifying symbol for the band, and has been frequently referenced: Wolfgang Flür, a member of Kraftwerk at the time of the single's release, later wrote the book "Kraftwerk: ich war ein Roboter" (Kraftwerk: I Was a Robot in English). The lyrics were also referenced in the title of a BBC Radio 4 documentary Kraftwerk: We Are the Robots, broadcast for the first time on Thursday, November 22nd 2007. bit.ly

"...It's a theatrical touch that makes Ian Curtis' out of nowhere appearance all the more striking, especially with his the edge of fear and desperation in his voice as he starts, "Someone take these dreams away!" His overall portrait of needing an escape from a private hell is all the more shot through with that edge, the musicians not letting up at all, their performances getting all the more loud and stinging even while keeping to the same relentless pace." www.allmusic.com Live "Dead Souls": youtu.be

The song began as a joke by Phil Everly (of The Everly Brothers) to Zevon in 1975, over two years before the recording sessions for Excitable Boy. Everly had watched a television broadcast of the 1935 film Werewolf of London and "suggested to Zevon that he adapt the title for a song and dance craze." The track featured Fleetwood Mac's Mick Fleetwood and John McVie on drums and bass respectively.
