I'm a Robot Like You - The Wombats

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

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

I've got some artificial friends engrossed in artificial trends

They wear their hair quiffed up like it's leaving their heads mid-flight

There's a procedure to self-implode

but too many glitches run through half the codes

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

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

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

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

I'm a robot like you

I'm a robot like you
