Styx - Mr Roboto

domo arigato Mister Roboto
mata o hima de
domo arigato Mister Roboto
himitsu wo shiri tai

you're wondering who I am
(Secret! Secret! I've got a secret!)
machine or mannequin
(Secret! Secret! I've got a secret!)
with parts made in japan
(Secret! Secret! I've got a secret!)
I am the modern man

I've got a secret I've been hiding
under my skin
my heart is human, my blood is boiling,
my brain I.B.M.
so if you see me acting strangely,
don't be surprised
I'm just a man who needed someone
and somewhere to hide
to keep me alive
just keep me alive
somewhere to hide
to keep me alive

I'm not a robot without emotions
I'm not what you see
I've come to help you with your problems
so we can be free
I'm not a hero, I'm not a saviour,
forget what you know
I'm just a man whose circumstances
went beyond his control
beyond my control
we all need control
I need control
we all need control

I am the modern man
(Secret! Secret! I've got a secret!)
who hides behind a mask
(Secret! Secret! I've got a secret!)
so no one else can see
(Secret! Secret! I've got a secret!)
my true identity

Domo arigato Mister Roboto!
Domo!
Domo!
Domo arigato Mister Roboto!
Domo!
Domo!
Domo arigato Mister Roboto!
Domo arigato Mister Roboto!
Domo arigato Mister Roboto!
Domo arigato Mister Roboto!

Thank you very much, Mister Roboto
for doing the jobs that nobody wants to
and thank you very much, Mister Roboto
for helping me escape when I needed to
Thank you!
Thank you! Thank you!
I want to thank you!
Please! Thank you!

the problem's plain to see
too much technology
machines to save our lives
machines dehumanize

the time has come at last
(Secret! Secret! I've got a secret!)
to throw away this mask
(Secret! Secret! I've got a secret!)
now everyone can see
(Secret! Secret! I've got a secret!)
my true identity

I'm Kilroy!
Kilroy!
Kilroy!
Kilroy!
