Intro: ( E D G A ) x2 /G 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, machin’ry in my pocket, I’ve even got a docket from y[E/F#]ou[D/E]
Solo: E/F# E D/E D G A D E G A D E
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, oh 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 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 y[E/F#]ou
