Make an ultimatum to you
Machin'ry in my pocket
But I wheel away
Make an ultimatum to you
I guess I'll wait a moment more
Hey, it's true
I've even got a docket from you
I went to the man
I've even got a docket from you
Metal heart and a metal brain
But something is wrong
Hey, oh, it's true
To dream of your face
It's true
I'm a helpless automaton
Hey, it's true
What need I of light?
And I feel no pain
I stand at your door
Machines they can see in the night
But he just smiled
And now my turn to fire upon
Make an ultimatum to you
'Cause I haven't felt this way for very long
It's true
"Distrusted not rusted"
But a video screen takes its place
I'm a helpless automaton
Your hall light comes on
'Cause I still feel that signal coming in so
Defer my plight for another day
I've even got a docket from you
Hey, it's true
I'm a helpless automaton
Machin'ry in my pocket
That's why I feel so disgusted
But I know he's wrong
Machin'ry in my pocket
I told him a robot is what I am
Said, I was a fractious child
