The Robot Song

(album: Too Afraid To Say It - 2017)

Come try our new product
It's the best you've ever seen (seen)
A miraculous invention
Who can guess what it'll be? (be)
And our new line-up's unveiling
We ask you be polite (oh so polite)
For our product is a little bit shy

For we have built you a friend (friend)
A most comforting friend (so great)
For those nights when you are feeling all alone
He'll hug you when you cry
And he'll never say goodbye
And if he does, well
That's what the off button's for

Now, customers don't go away
For we'll make it worth your while today
To forget your lonely, empty lives
To make a purchase of this size
For twenty-five thousand, he'll say your name
And every person will message you
For twenty-hundred, he'll wave hello
And for two hundred, our invisible model will
(Get it, there's no model)

For we have built you a friend (friend)
A most dazzling friend (so great)
For our upgrade, he can juggle and sing songs (amazing)
He'll tell you he loves you
Even if you know it's not true
A hollow replica of your boyfriend
Who is gone

He can sing (tra-la-la-la)
He can dance (tap, ballet, and jazz)
Higher than any man, he can jump (how is that marketable?)
He's like a famous celebrity, almost real
At least that is until
You have to fill him up at the gas pump
(That's a problem we're currently working out, it's weird, we know)

For we have built you a friend (friend)
A most comforting friend (so great)
For those nights when you are feeling all alone (so alone)
If he starts to ask questions like
"Why do I exist?"
"Who created me?"
"What is my purpose but to fill a lonely consumerist soul and make you think that even just for a second someone who loves them could be bought with money?"
Well, that's what the off button's for

Thank you for your purchase
