I am a robot, I do whatever they say
I think I am free, but I am programmed to die
I can be silly, but I play exactly the game
What’s good and evil? The answer is always the same
Why Am I so unhappy? I just cannot understand
Even living in a big room, I am a tree that cannot grow
And it’s funny
it’s funny how we’re playing the game
I’ve got my own brain, I say the word is to say
I match the big deal, but I’m settled to loose
It’s not an error, just replay all the tape
I’m also organic, ready to start it again
They say we’re never alone, but it sounds a little fake
These buildings of the new world, but all the keys are lost
And it’s funny
it’s funny to we’re playing the game
I’m a robot, created to learn from mistakes
To make a new world, but not in your way
If I’m not working, it’s only time to replace
I known that it is right, as they wrote in my brain
Why Am I so unhappy? I just cannot understand
Even living in a big room, I am a tree that cannot grow
They say we’re never alone, but it sounds a little fake
These buildings of the new world, but all the keys are lost
