Lyric booklet commentary: “My cell phone died recently and I went for five days without a mobile before a new one arrived in the mail. The first day was terrifying – the other four were glorious.”
Oh I don't know what you've been told
But I don't get out much these days
Waking young and feeling old
The days are no longer my own
To piss away the waking hours
But don't, don't don't, don't let them go
Oh don't, don't don't, don't let them go to waste
The fire in my eye is fleeting now
Your robot heart is bleeding
Tried to be the Robot King
And settled for the robot boy
Ring the bells that still can ring
And sing your stupid head off
To the ones who are not listening
But don't, don't don't, don't let them go
Don't don't, don't don't, don't let them go to waste
The fire in my eye is fleeting now
Your robot heart is bleeding out
And I spent half of my life
In the customer service line
Flaws in the design
A sign of the times
And that little voice
In the back of your mind
Just wants you to know
Just hopes that you know
Robots need love too
They want to be loved by you
They want to be loved by you
They want to be loved by
Robots need love too
They want to be loved by you
They want to be loved by you
They want to be loved by
Robots need love too
They want to be loved by you
They want to be loved by you
They want to be loved by
(Background)
Robots need love too
They want to be loved by you
They want to be loved by you
They want to be loved by you
