Helpless Automation Lyrics by Men at Work

Helpless Automation 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 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

    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
    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
    Hey, it's true
    Machin'ry in my pocket, I've even got a docket from you
    from you
    from you
