Robot - Nada Surf

You’re just walking round your little mazes

Figuring out how to get by

How to get laid and get famous

Get yourself paid, impress the guys

You’re taught to divide

The world into buddies and wives

Sluts and wimps

And ever since

You’ve kept a score card

How else to prove you’re such the pimp

You are just a robot

Executing a program

Get on a train where the crowd is tightening

To push yourself up against a girl

And when you’re not getting play

You keep trying

You don’t understand the consensual way

You are just a robot

Executing a program

You are just a robot

An imitation of a man

She told me one night

When we were lying quiet and cold

Something not right

It had months since the good times

Once there was sun

Now there was night

She said to me

As she turned on the light

«There's something you don’t know

That keeps me from feeling right

I once knew a guy, I’d seen him around

He knew all my friends, he came from town

One night at a party, we both were there

He followed me into the bathroom, he grabbed my hair»

And she said «I still remember

Just how the floor felt

And how my head would hit the tub.»

Now where is that robot

Is he alive or is he done?

Does he breathe air that I breathe?

Is he kept warm by the same sun?

You are just a robot

Executing a program

An imitation of a man

Executing a program

An imitation of a man

An imitation of a man

An imitation of a man

An imitation of a man

An imitation of a man
