You think you know the pain, The sorrows day to day, Isolation False deception Hides the truth some way A slave to reality, A maid to society, The mask Disguises facts Behind the pearly teeth Look at the robot, The perfect machine, Tell it what to do Or ignore it, It has no feeling If it did It wouldn't matter, As long as it didn't talk back Never voiced what it felt, Was never itself If it did You would throw it away, After all, It was worthless, Right?

Walls of scrap
You think you know the pain, The sorrows day to day, Isolation False deception Hides the truth some way A slave to reality, A maid to society, The mask Disguises facts Behind the pearly teeth Look at the robot, The perfect machine, Tell it what to do Or ignore it, It has no feeling If it did It wouldn't matter, As long as it didn't talk back Never voiced what it felt, Was never itself If it did You would throw it away, After all, It was worthless, Right?
