I’m a Robot Like You by The Wombats Lyrics

[Chorus]
I'm a robot like you
A maze of coiling wires held in with glue
I'm a robot like you
Born of a soldering iron and some unfaithful screws

[Verse 1]
I'm an artificial man
With some artificial plans
That I dress to the nines for you
I've got a tin box of plastic bags
That I shove down my rucksack
So it bulges like I've got something of importance to do
Perhaps I have
But this programme only ever lets me follow suit

[Verse 2]
I've got some artificial friends
Engrossed in artificial trends
They wear their hair coiffed up
Like it's leaving their heads mid-flight
There's a procedure to self-implode
But too many glitches run throughout the code
So I turn the lights down and pleasure myself to pass time
I know it's sad
But in this programme, it's really quite a highlight
[Chorus]
I'm a robot like you
A maze of coiling wires held in with glue
I'm a robot like you
Born of a soldering iron and some unfaithful screws

[Verse 3]
I'm an artificial man with some artificial plans
That I dress to the nines for you
I work for a local think tank
I do no research and I avoid the tax
Still, I feel I need a drastic change of route
I know I can
But this damn programme only ever lets me follow suit

[Chorus]
I'm a robot like you
A maze of coiling wires held in with glue
I'm a robot like you
Born of a soldering iron and some unfaithful screws

[Outro]
I'm a robot like you
I'm a robot like you
