I'm a robot with dreams and a vision

  1. I'm a robot like you
    A maze of coiling wires held in with glue
    I'm a robot like you
    Born of a soldering iron and some unfaithful screws

    I'm an artificial man with some artificial plans
    That I dress to the nines for you
    I've got a tin box of plastic bags that I shove down my rucksack
    So it bulges like I've got something of importance to do

    Perhaps I have
    But this programme only ever lets me follow suit

    I've got some artificial friends engrossed in artificial trends
    They wear their hair quiffed up like it's leaving their heads mid-flight
    There's a procedure to self-implode
    but too many glitches run through half the codes
    So I turn the lights down and pleasure myself to pass time

    I know it's sad
    But in this programme it's really quite a highlight

    I'm a robot like you
    A maze of coiling wires held in with glue
    I'm a robot like you
    Born of a soldering iron and some unfaithful screws

    I'm an artificial man with some artificial plans
    That I dress to the nines for you
    I work for a local think tank, I do no research and I avoid the tax
    Still I feel I need a drastic change of route

    I know I can
    But this damn programme only ever lets me follow suit

    I'm a robot like you
    A maze of coiling wires held in with glue
    I'm a robot like you
    Born of a soldering iron and some unfaithful screws

    I'm a robot like you
    I'm a robot like you
