I'm a Robot Like You

I’m a robot like you
a maze of coiling wires held in with glue
I’m a robot like you
Born of a solder and 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 shoved down my rock sack
so it bulges like I’ve got something of importance to do
perhaps I have
but this program 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 out the code
So I
turn the lights down and pleasure myself to pass time
I know it’s sad
But in this program 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 solder and iron and some unfaithful screws
Hey, Hey, Hey
I am 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 program 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 solder and iron and some unfaithful screw
I’m a robot like you
I’m a robot like you
