Nada Surf - Robot lyrics

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 s*uts 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
