Helpless Automaton Lyrics

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 soI 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 placeHey, oh it's true
I'm a helpless automaton, Make an ultimatum to you
Hey, it's true
Machinery in my pocket, I've even got a docket from youI 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
