Robot lyrics

Artist  : Nada Surf 
Song : Robot



 Send "Robot" Ringtone to your Cell 

 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, sluts and wimps;

And ever since, you've kept a scorecard - how
else to prove you're such the pimp. 



You are just a robot, executing a program. 



You get on the 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 consentual way.




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 been months since the good times, once
there was sun, now there was night.

And she said to me as she turned on the
light,

"There's something you don't know 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 the air that I breathe?

Is he kept warm by the same sun?
