lyrics

I programmed a robot
So I wouldn't have to feel pain
Trying to make you love me
Has given me a tumor inside my brain
So I'm gonna leave him here
He can take my place for a year
If it's all the same

He can do everything I can
Quantum chipped to please a human
He won't stray to another
Nothing unresolved with his mother
He's a stable boy, a delicate listener
A sex toy and a beautiful whistler
He won't be rude to your family
He just got a Blu-ray of Amélie

Best of all, best of all
He has no heart
You can be self-centered, cheat
Or spend a couple months apart
And it won't change
He won't change
And neither will you

It's only been a week
And already the robot's gone on strike
He found his way back home
And beamed those cold, metallic eyes
Please turn me off he said
I've calculated that we're all off better dead

To get to be content
"You have to wait a while" I told him
He shook his head defeated
And fell in my arms so I could hold him
This life is just too hard
Please recycle all my parts
I refused and offered hope
You'll get strong and learn to cope
But it didn't work
It never works
And now he's a truck
