Helpless Automation Lyrics - Singles - Men At Work

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 

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 you 

From you, from you, from you
