Colin Hay - 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 It's true I'm a helpless automaton, make an ultimatum to you It's true Machin'ry in my pocket, I've even got a docket from youfrom youfrom youfrom you
