Sad Robot World - Pet Shop Boys

Sad robot world
They can manufacture
what you want to capture
in a robot world
Management decisions
Technical provisions

It can take your breath away
the silent dedication
A mechanical ballet
of slow deliberation

Sad robot world
taking a position
of their own volition
in a robot world
Greeted with indifference
but they're always with us

There's no sleep, no food, no pay
doing as commanded
24 hours every day
whatever is demanded

Sad robot world
where you ponder leisure
created for your pleasure
Sad robot world
Machinery is sighing
I thought I heard one crying
