Nada Surf – Robot lyrics

You're just walking round, your little mazes
figurin' out, how to get by, how to get laid, and get famous, get yourself paid, impress the guys, you're taught to divide the world into buddies and wives, sluts and wimps, and ever since, you've kept a score-card, how else to prove you're such the pimp?
You are just a robot, executing a program
Get on the train, the crowd is tightening, you push yourself up against the girl, and when you're not getting play, you keep trying, you don't understand the consensual way
You are just a robot, executing a program
You are just a robot, an imitation of a man
She told me one night, when we were lying, quiet and cold, something not right, it had been months since the good times, once there was sun now there was night, And she said to me as she turned on the light, something you don't know, keeps me from feeling right, I once knew a guy, seen him 'round, he knew all my friends, he came from town, one night at a party, we both were there, he followed me into the bathroom, he grabbed my hand, and she said "I still remember just how the floor felt, and how my head would hit the tub." Now what is that robot? is he live or is he done? does he breathe the air that I breathe? is he kept warm by the same sun?
You are just a robot, executing a program, an imitation of a man, executing a program, an imitation of a man, an imitation of a man, an imitation of a man, an imitation of a man, an imitation of a man.
