I, Robot

Screeching Weasel · Anthem For A New Tomorrow [1993]

I am a robot

I might be paranoid

But I'm a living breathing humanoid

I am a rhombus

I plod around like dough

And I'm secure in everything I know

Am I American

Blue metal under skin

No I'm not human

I am a robot

I never have a doubt



I live inside a circle and I can't get out

I am mechanical

I don't question anything

My TV logic solves all my problems for me

Am I American

Am I a Gilligan

No I'm not human

I, Robot
