Nada Surf Lyrics

14. Robot

Other versions of this song:
Robot from album "The Proximity Effect"

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 think you're thinking for yourself 
But when you get on the subway's most crowded part just to stand behind a 
Girl 
Then you are just a robot, executing a program. 
You are just a robot, an imitation of a man 
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 think you're thinking for yourself 
But when you when you can't get any the consentual way so you decide to 
Use some force 
Then you are just a robot, executing a program. 
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, put a stake thru my true love 
Where is that robot, should get struck down from above 
You are just a robot, executing a program, an imitation of a man
