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