I'm just a robot and

I know my place

A metal servant to the human race

I work my can off trying to satisfy

I know they'll disconnect me by and by

Chip on my shoulder made of silicon

My printed circuit's like a lexicon

Ten billion logic functions maybe more

They make me pick the paper off the floor

Solitary solinoid

Terminally paranoid

Marvin

Know what makes me really mad

They clean me with a Brillo Pad

A carwash wouldn't be so bad

Life!

Don't talk to me about life

I'm so depressed I could expectorate

My moving parts are in a solid state

I want to rust in peace, switch off

and lie

In that great junk yard in the sky

Solitary solinoid

Terminally paranoid

Marvin

Nothing left to be enjoyed

Every diode rheumatoid Marvin

Outer alloy

Inner void

Marvin

Happiness has been destroyed
