Helpless Automaton

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 screen takes its place

Hey, oh, it's true

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

It's true

Machinery 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

It's true

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

It's true

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

It's true

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

From you

From you

From you
