I said fly. But it swims! And bends, to its atomic whims.
I gave it books, but it just skims!
I lost the the copyrights to him
I built the shell
I built the inside
I thought it up
But we were both high
Robot Kid will never die
He used to be so sweet and shy...
We raised you up!
And you were ours
Gave you many
Special powers
But I got no heart
I'm just wire
Think I'm gonna
Start a fire
I've got guns
Couple lasers
X-ray vision
Electric Razors
I'm leaving town, I'll be their savior
Put good use to my bad behavior
You're our baby
Robot Boy
Built you through and act of joy
You played with me like your little toy
I needed something to destroy
We raised you up!
And you were ours
Gave you many
Special Powers
But I got no heart
I'm just wire
Think I'm gonna
Start a fire
I blew up tanks
And all the war ships
I built a lover
With platinum hips
Long chrome nails and those mercury lips
Treasure trail of paper clips
Took him to church
After school programs
He never learned!
Never gave a damn
I found god, and I punched his lights out
Refroze glaciers, rivers I re-route
To radiators that cool all my engines
I'll live forever with my own inventions
Don't need people, with their bad intentions
Dogs can stay but cats do not dare mention
Dear Robot Kid
Will you please spare us?
We fucked it up!
We're so embarrassed
How the hell could you have been so careless?
We thought the new light, these new lights would save us
