Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto

Mata au hi made

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto

Himitsu wo shiritai

[Verse 2]

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)

I am the modern man

[Verse 3]

I've got a secret

I've been hiding under my skin

My heart is human

My blood is boiling

My brain I.B.M.

[Verse 4]

So if you see me

Acting strangely

Don't be surprised

I'm just a man who

Needed someone

And somewhere to hide

[Verse 5]

To keep me alive

Just keep me alive

Somewhere to hide

To keep me alive

[Verse 6]

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

[Verse 7]

I'm not a hero

I'm not a savior

Forget what you know

I'm just a man whose

Circumstances

Went beyond his control

[Verse 8]

Beyond my control

We all need control

I need control

We all need control

[Verse 9]

I am the modern man

(Secret, secret, I've got a secret)

Who hides behind the mask

(Secret, secret, I've got a secret)

So no one else can see

(Secret, secret, I've got a secret)

My true identity

[Verse 10]

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto

Domo, domo

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto

Domo, domo

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto

[Verse 11]

Thank you very much, oh Mr. Roboto

For doing the jobs that nobody wants to

Thank you very much, oh Mr. Roboto

For helping me escape just when I needed to

Thank you

Thank you, thank you

I want to thank you, please, thank you

[Verse 12]

The problem's plain to see

Too much technology

Machines to save our lives

Machines dehumanize

[Verse 13]

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)

My true identity

I'm Kilroy

Kilroy, Kilroy, Kilroy
