Lyrics

One More Robot

[Verse 1]

Unit 3000-21 is warming, makes a humming sound

When it's circuits duplicate emotion

And a sense of coldness detaches

As it tries to comfort your sadness

[Chorus]

One more robot learns to be

Something more than a machine

When it tries the way it does

Makes it seem like it's in love

'Cause it's hard to say what's real

When you know the way you feel

Is it wrong to think it's love

When it tries the way it does?

[Verse 2]

Feeling a synthetic kind of love

Dreaming a sympathetic wish

As the lights blink faster and brighter

[Chorus]

One more robot learns to be

Something more than a machine

When it tries the way it does

Makes it seem like it's in love

'Cause it's hard to say what's real

When you know the way you feel

Is it wrong to think it's love

When it tries the way it does?
