I knew a man that I will never forget
|
But nobody ever remembers the pet
|
He took me from the year 5000 on a lonely asteroid
|
He said he was looking for a droid
|
He was my master, his attention I did crave
|
To him, I was nothing more than a slave
|
We saved creatures all across the galaxy
|
But nobody ever thought to save me
|
|
And I wonder what life would be like if
|
I could choose not to say affirmitive
|
People tell me what to do and I just roll along
|
But inside my metal head I'm singing my song
|
|
Treacherous compliance, what have you done to me?
|
I'm a fraction of the shadow of the canine I could be
|
I see other dogs in the park fetching sticks and digging bones
|
Never has a tin dog ever felt so alone
|
Oh no
|
He gave me to Sarah Jane as a gift
|
But I wasn't consulted, I was a little miffed
|
Is this what I'm reduced to, a casual memento?
|
I've seen all of creation, but to it I'm incidental
|
But there's more to this automaton than they will ever know
|
I'm more than just alloys and circuits, I have soul
|
And I've got dreams just like everybody else
|
I could conquer the world if I could conquer myself
|
|
And I wonder what life would be like if
|
I could choose not to say affirmitive
|
People tell me what to do and I just roll along
|
But inside my metal head I'm singing my song
|
|
Treacherous compliance, what have you done to me?
|
I'm a fraction of the shadow of the canine I could be
|
I see other dogs in the park fetching sticks and digging bones
|
Never has a tin dog ever felt so alone
|
Oh no
|
|
And I wonder what life would be like if
|
I could choose not to say affirmitive
|
People tell me what to do and I just roll along
|
But inside my metal head I'm singing my song
|
|
Treacherous compliance, what have you done to me?
|
I'm a fraction of the shadow of the canine I should be
|
I see other dogs in the park, they're fetching sticks and digging bones
|
Never has a tin dog ever felt so alone
|
Oh no
|
