[Verse 1]
D#m
There once was a boy, a robotic boy
B A#sus4 A#
With a crank sticking out of his brain
D#m
He never performed with sadness or joy
B A#sus4 A#
He was just simply programmed to sing
[Chorus]
D#m
So he sang
B A#sus4 A#
So he sang
D#m
So he sang
B A#sus4 A#
So he sang until one day
[Verse 2]
D#m
With no one around this robot fell down
B A#sus4 A#
And the crank it broke off of his head
D#m
With the jar to his hard drive he felt all alive
B A#sus4 A#
The old robot he used to be: dead
[Verse 3]
D#m
There was rage in his brain, there was pain in his frame
B A#sus4 A#
There was love, there was hunger and strife
D#m
He felt lonely, rejected at times disconnected
B A#sus4 A#
No answer to the meaning of life
[Chorus]
D#m
So he sang
B A#sus4 A#
So he sang
D#m
So he sang
B A#sus4 A#
So he sang
