Lyrics
Mr Roboto - Styx
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto
(Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,
Mata ah-oo hima de.
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,
Himitsu wo shiri tai.)
1. Refrain
You're wondering who I am,
Machine or mannequin.
With parts made in Japan,
I am the modren man.
1. Strophe
I've got a secret
I've been hiding under my skin.
My heart is human,
My blood is boiling, my brain I.B.M.
So if you see me acting strangely,
Don't be surprised.
I'm just a man who needed someone
And somewhere to hide
To keep me alive, just keep me alive,
Somewhere to hide to keep me alive.
2. Strophe
I'm not a robot without emotions.
I'm not what you see.
I've come to help you
With your problems,
So we can be free.
I'm not a hero, I'm not a saviour.
Forget what you know.
I'm just a man whose circumstances
Went beyond his control,
Beyond my control.
We all need control.
I need control.
We all need control.
2. Refrain
I am the modren man
Who hides behind a mask
So no one else can see
My true identity.
Bridge
(Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo, domo.
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo, domo.
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto.
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto.
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto.
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto..)
3. Strophe
D#m
Thank you very much, oh, Mr. Roboto
For doin' the jobs that nobody wants to
And thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
For helpin' me escape
Just when I needed to.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I wanna thank you, please, thank you.
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, ya!
Instrumental
Bridge
The problem's plain to see:
Too much technology.
Machines to save our lives.
Machines dehumanize.
3. Refrain
The time has come at last
To throw away this mask,
But now everyone can see
My true identity.
I'm Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy!
