I Robot

If I had a mind to

I wouldn't want to think like you

And if I had time to

I wouldn't want to talk to you



I don't care

What you do

I wouldn't want to be like you



If I was high class

I wouldn't need a buck to pass

And if I was a fall guy

I wouldn't need no alibi



I don't care

What you do

I wouldn't want to be like you



Back on the bottom line

Diggin' for a lousy dime

If I hit a mother lode

I'd cover anything that showed



I don't care

What you do

I wouldn't want to be like you

In a matter of a moment

Lost till the end of time

It's the evening of another day

And the end of mine



Now the starlight which has found me

Lost for a million years

Tries to linger as it fills my eyes

Till it disappears



Could it be that somebody else is

Looking into my mind



Some other place

Somewhere

Some other time



Some other place

Somewhere

Some other time



Like a mirror held before me

Large as the sky is wide

And the image is reflected

Back to the other side



Could it be that somebody else is

Looking into my mind



Some other place

Somewhere

Some other time



Some other place

Somewhere

Some other time

I breakdown in the middle and lose my thread

No one can understand a word that I say

When I break down just a little and lose my head

Nothing I try to do can work the same way



Any time it happened I'd get over it

With a little help from all my friends

Anybody else could see what's wrong with me

But they walk away and just pretend



When I breakdown



I breakdown in the middle and lose my thread

No one can understand a word that I say

When I break down just a little and lose my head

Nothing I try to do can work the same way



Where are all the friends who used to talk to me

All they ever told me was good news

People that I've never seen are kind to me

Is it any wonder I'm confused



When I break down, when I break down



Freedom, freedom, we will not obey

Freedom, freedom, take the wall away

Freedom, freedom, we will not obey

Freedom, freedom, take them all away

If it's getting harder to face every day

Don't let it show, don't let it show

Though it's getting harder to take what they say

Just let it go, just let it go



And if it hurts when they mention my name

Say you don't know me

And if it helps when they say I'm to blame

Say you don't own me



Even if it's taking the easy way out

Keep it inside of you

Don't give in

Don't tell them anything

Don't let it

Don't let it show



Even though you know it's the wrong thing to say

Say you don't care, say you don't care

Even if you want to believe there's a way

I won't be there, I won't be there



But if you smile when they mention my name

They'll never know you

And if you laugh when they say I'm to blame

They'll never own you



Even if you feel you've got nothing to hide

Keep it inside of you

Don't give in

Don't tell them anything

Don't let it

Don't let it show

It's almost a feeling you can touch in the air

You look all around you but nobody's there

It's been a long time now since you've been aware

That someone is watching you (he's gonna get you)



Sooner or later when your big chances come

You'll look for the catches but there will be none

Remember before you grab the money and run

That someone is watching you (he's gonna get you)



Before you run and hide

He's gonna get you

You got no choice

Because you can't escape the voice



Jumping at shadows that come up from behind

Scared of the darkness that's there in your mind

You're frightened to move because of what you might find

That someone is watching you (he's gonna get you)



Before you run and hide

He's gonna get you

You got no choice

Because you can't escape the voice

Gaze at the sky

And picture a memory

Of days in your life

You knew what it meant to be happy and free

With time on your side



Remember your daddy

When no one was wiser

Your ma used to say

That you would go further than he ever could

With time on your side



Think of a boy with the stars in his eye

Longing to reach them but frightened to try

Sadly, you'd say, someday, someday



But day after day

The show must go on

And time slipped away

Before you could build any castles in Spain

The chance had gone by



With nothing to say

And no one to say it to



Nothing has changed

You've still got it all to do

Surely you know

The chance has gone by



Think of a boy with the stars in his eye

Longing to reach them but frightened to try

Sadly, you'd say, someday, someday



But, day after day

The show must go on

And you gaze at the sky

And picture a memory of days in your life

With time on your side



With time on your side

(Day after day the show must go on)

With time on your side

(Day after day the show must go on)
