Become A Robot Lyrics - They Might Be Giants

Here's hoping you don't (hoping you don't) 

become a robot (clang clang) 

clang, clang, whoops, too late 

here's hoping you don't (hoping you don't) 

become a robot (clang clang) 

clang, clang, whoops, too late 

Let's stick together 'cause we're number 8* 

let's stick to numbers 'cause we're great* 

Here's hoping you don't (hoping you don't) 

become a robot (clang clang) 

clang, clang, whoops, too late 

Hey! 

wait! 

Here's hoping you don't (hoping you don't) 

harbor a deathwish* (help help) 

help, help, help yourself 

here's hoping you don't (hoping you don't) 

harbor a deathwish* (help help) 

help, help, help yourself 

Hip, hip, horrific are the words we sing 

hip, hip, horrific is our thing 

Here's hoping you don't (hoping you don't) 

become a robot (help help) 

help, help, help, help 

help, help, help 

Notes 

*these lines are disputable. the liner notes to then: the earlier years claim that the lines in the first bridge are as written here, and that in the second verse the line is "harbor a wishnik." many fans claim to hear "harbor a deathwish" or "harbor a penguin," but "deathwish" seems the most likely. others hear "number a/'cause we're gray" in the first bridge rather than what is printed here.
