Lyrics Helpless Automaton (Remastered) - Live - Men At Work

I stay in my room,
All alone in the gloom,
What need I of light?
Machines they can see in the night,
And I feel no pain
Metal heart and a metal brain,
But something is wrong
′Cause I still feel that signal coming in so
I stand at your door,
I guess I'll wait a moment more
Your hall light comes on
And now my turn to fire upon
But I wheel away
Defer my plight, for another day
To dream of your face
But a video scren takes its place
Hey, oh it′s true
I'm a helpless automaton, Make an ultimatum to you
Hey, it's true
Machin′ry in my pocket, I′ve even got a docket from you
I went to the man, I told him a robot is what I am,
But he just smiled, said I was a fractious child
"Distrusted not Rusted" That's why I feel so disgusted
But I know he′s wrong, 'cause I haven′t felt this way for very long
Hey, it's true,
I′m a helpless automaton, make an ultimatum to you
Hey, it's true
Machin'ry in my pocket, I′ve even got a docket from you
I′m a helpless automaton, make an ultimatum to you
Hey, it's true
Machin′ry in my pocket, I've even got a docket from you
It′s true
I'm a helpless automaton, make an ultimatum to you
Hey, it′s true
Machin'ry in my pocket, I've even got a docket from you
From you
From you
