Chameleon Circuit - K9's Lament lyrics

I knew a man that I will never forget But nobody ever remembers the pet He took me from the year 5000 on a lonely asteroid He said he was looking for a droid He was my master, his attention I did crave To him, I was nothing more than a slave We saved creatures all across the galaxy But nobody ever thought to save me And I wonder what life would be like if I could choose not to say affirmitive People tell me what to do and I just roll along But inside my metal head I'm singing my song Treacherous compliance, what have you done to me? I'm a fraction of the shadow of the canine I could be I see other dogs in the park fetching sticks and digging bones Never has a tin dog ever felt so alone Oh no He gave me to Sarah Jane as a gift But I wasn't consulted, I was a little miffed Is this what I'm reduced to, a casual memento? I've seen all of creation, but to it him I'm incidental But there's more to this automaton than they will ever know I'm more than just alloys and circuits, I have soul And I've got dreams just like everybody else I could conquer the world if I could conquer myself And I wonder what life would be like if I could choose not to say affirmitive People tell me what to do and I just roll along But inside my metal head I'm singing my song Treacherous compliance, what have you done to me? I'm a fraction of the shadow of the canine I could be I see other dogs in the park fetching sticks and digging bones Never has a tin dog ever felt so alone Oh no And I wonder what life would be like if I could choose not to say affirmitive People tell me what to do and I just roll along But inside my metal head I'm singing my song Treacherous compliance, what have you done to me? I'm a fraction of the shadow of the canine I should be I see other dogs in the park, they're fetching sticks and digging bones Never has a tin dog ever felt so alone Oh no
