Chameleon Circuit - K9's Lament Lyrics
I knew a man that I will never forgetBut nobody ever remembers the petHe took me from the year 5000 on a lonely asteroidHe said he was looking for a droidHe was my master, his attention I did craveTo him, I was nothing more than a slaveWe saved creatures all across the galaxyBut nobody ever thought to save meAnd I wonder what life would be like ifI could choose not to say affirmitivePeople tell me what to do and I just roll alongBut inside my metal head I'm singing my songTreacherous compliance, what have you done to me?I'm a fraction of the shadow of the canine I could beI see other dogs in the park fetching sticks and digging bonesNever has a tin dog ever felt so aloneOh noHe gave me to Sarah Jane as a giftBut I wasn't consulted, I was a little miffedIs this what I'm reduced to, a casual memento?I've seen all of creation, but to it I'm incidentalBut there's more to this automaton than they will ever knowI'm more than just alloys and circuits, I have soulAnd I've got dreams just like everybody elseI could conquer the world if I could conquer myselfAnd I wonder what life would be like ifI could choose not to say affirmitivePeople tell me what to do and I just roll alongBut inside my metal head I'm singing my songTreacherous compliance, what have you done to me?I'm a fraction of the shadow of the canine I could beI see other dogs in the park fetching sticks and digging bonesNever has a tin dog ever felt so aloneOh noAnd I wonder what life would be like ifI could choose not to say affirmitivePeople tell me what to do and I just roll alongBut inside my metal head I'm singing my songTreacherous compliance, what have you done to me?I'm a fraction of the shadow of the canine I should beI see other dogs in the park, they're fetching sticks and digging bonesNever has a tin dog ever felt so aloneOh no
