[Verse 1]
Fm
There once was a boy, a robotic boy
C# Csus4 C
With a crank sticking out of his brain
Fm
He never performed with sadness or joy
C# Csus4 C
He was just simply programmed to sing
[Chorus]
Fm
So he sang
C# Csus4 C
So he sang
Fm
So he sang
C# Csus4 C
So he sang until one day
[Verse 2]
Fm
With no one around this robot fell down
C# Csus4 C
And the crank it broke off of his head
Fm
With the jar to his hard drive he felt all alive
C# Csus4 C
The old robot he used to be: dead
[Verse 3]
Fm
There was rage in his brain, there was pain in his frame
C# Csus4 C
There was love, there was hunger and strife
Fm
He felt lonely, rejected at times disconnected
C# Csus4 C
No answer to the meaning of life
[Chorus]
Fm
So he sang
C# Csus4 C
So he sang
Fm
So he sang
C# Csus4 C
So he sang
