Helpless Automaton 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 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
