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 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
