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
