Afternoon Matinee: Protest - Mr. Roboto

Performed by Styx

Dōmo arigatō misutā Robotto

Dōmo arigatō misutā Robotto

Mata au hi made

Dōmo arigatō misutā Robotto

Himitsu wo shiritai

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 IBM

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 savior

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

Dōmo arigatō, Mr. Roboto

Dōmo (dōmo)

Dōmo (dōmo)

Dōmo arigatō, Mr. Roboto

Dōmo (dōmo)

Dōmo (dōmo)

Dōmo arigatō, Mr. Roboto

Dōmo arigatō, Mr. Roboto

Dōmo arigatō, Mr. Roboto

Dōmo arigatō, Mr. Roboto

Thank you very much, oh, Mr. Roboto

(Dōmo arigatō, Mr. Roboto)

For doing the jobs that nobody wants to

(Dōmo arigatō, Mr. Roboto)

And thank you very much, oh, Mr. Roboto

(Dōmo arigatō, Mr. Roboto)

For helping me escape just when I needed to

(Dōmo arigatō, Mr. Roboto)

Thank you, thank you, thank you

(Dōmo arigatō, Mr. Roboto)

I want to thank you

(Dōmo arigatō, Mr. Roboto)

Please, thank you

(Dōmo arigatō, Mr. Roboto)

Oh, ya

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!
