Helpless Automation

I stay in my room,

All alone in the gloom,

What need I of light?

Machines they can see in the night,

And I feel no pain

Metal heart and a metal brain,

But something is wrong

'cause I still feel that signal coming in so



I stand at your door,

I guess I'll wait a moment more

Your hall light comes on

And now my turn to fire upon

But I wheel away

Defer my plight, for another day

To dream of your face

But a video scren takes its place



Hey, oh it's true

I'm a helpless automaton, Make an ultimatum to you

Hey, it's true

Machin'ry in my pocket, I've even got a docket from you



I went to the man, I told him a robot is what I am,

But he just smiled, said I was a fractious child

"Distrusted not Rusted" That's why I feel so disgusted

But I know he's wrong, 'cause I haven't felt this way for very long



Hey, it's true,

I'm a helpless automaton, make an ultimatum to you

Hey, it's true

Machin'ry in my pocket, I've even got a docket from you

I'm a helpless automaton, make an ultimatum to you

Hey, it's true

Machin'ry in my pocket, I've even got a docket from you

It's true

I'm a helpless automaton, make an ultimatum to you

Hey, it's true

Machin'ry in my pocket, I've even got a docket from you

from you

from you
