Mr. Roboto
Styx Lyrics

Domo arigato misuta Robotto
Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto

Mata au hi made
Until we meet again

Himitsu wo shiritai
I want to know your secret

You're wondering who I am (secret secret I've got a secret)
I'm a mystery to you

Machine or mannequin (secret secret I've got a secret)
Are you unclear if I'm alive or artificial?

With parts made in Japan (secret secret I've got a secret)
My components were constructed in Japan

I am the modern man
I embody the contemporary man

I've got a secret I've been hiding under my skin
I'm hiding a secret within myself

My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain I.B.M.
I'm a living, learning person connected to technology

So if you see me acting strangely, don't be surprised
If I act strangely, it's a symptom of my condition

I'm just a man who needed someone, and somewhere to hide
I'm a human who needs a refuge, and someone to trust

To keep me alive, just keep me alive
Provide me with a sanctuary, which keeps me alive

Somewhere to hide to keep me alive
My life depends on having a hiding place

I'm not a robot without emotions, I'm not what you see
I'm not unfeeling, and my appearance can be misleading

I've come to help you with your problems, so we can be free
I came to assist you with your problems, to liberate us both

I'm not a hero, I'm not a savior, forget what you know
I'm not a champion, or anyone who can save you, so let go of that idea

I'm just a man whose circumstances went beyond his control
I'm a person whose circumstances became out of his control

Beyond my control, we all need control
We must all have control over our lives

I need control, we all need control
I must have some control over my life

Who hides behind a mask (secret secret I've got a secret)
I conceal myself behind a retreat

So no one else can see (secret secret I've got a secret)
So no one else knows about it

The problem's plain to see, too much technology
It's clear that there is too much reliance on technology

Machines to save our lives, machines dehumanize
While machines save our lives, they also cause us to lose our humanity

The time has come at last (secret secret I've got a secret)
Now is the moment I have been waiting for

To throw away this mask (secret secret I've got a secret)
To remove my disguise

Now everyone can see (secret secret I've got a secret)
Now, people can know who I really am

My true identity
My genuine self

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo, domo
Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto

Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
Thank you for your help, Mr. Roboto

For doing the jobs nobody wants to
For completing the work that no one wants to do

For helping me escape to where I needed to
For aiding my journey to my required destination

Thank you, thank you, thank you
Thank you, thank you, thank you

I want to thank you, please, thank you, oh yeah
I want to express my gratitude, please, thank you, oh yeah

I'm Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy!
I am Kilroy!
