verse
You're wondering who I am (secret, secret, I've got a secret)
Machine or mannequin? (Secret, secret, I've got a secret)
With parts made in Japan (secret, secret, I've got a secret)
verse
I've got a secret, I've been hiding under my skin
My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain IBM
So if you see me acting strangely, don't be surprised
I'm just a man who needed someone and somewhere to hide to keep me alive
Just keep me alive, somewhere to hide, to keep me alive
verse
I'm not a robot without emotions, I'm not what you see
I've come to help you with your problems so we can be free
I'm not a hero, I'm not the saviour, forget what you know
I'm just a man whose circumstances went beyond his control
Beyond my control, we all need control
I need control, we all need control
chorus
I am thee modern man (secret, secret, I've got a secret)
Who hides behind a mask (secret, secret, I've got a secret)
So no one else can see (secret, secret, I've got a secret)
verse
Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
For doing the jobs that nobody wants to
And thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
For helping me escape, when I needed to
Thank you, thank you, thank you
Please, thank you, oh-oh-oh, yeah
chorus
The time has come at last (secret, secret, I've got a secret)
To throw away this mask (secret, secret, I've got a secret)
Now everyone can see (secret, secret, I've got a secret)
