lyrics

Locked away in his house with no phone
He's building a robot from sticks and stones
He spent years on the program
And drawing the plans
And now that he's built it it looks mighty grand
With a crown of thorns
And hair of stringy bark
And five infra ruby eyes to see in the dark
He'll take the robot out and turn it on
And it'll come to life with a dance and a song
And plant him some asparagus
And water his potatos
Clean his house and milk his cow
And sit with him at dinner time
And give him conversation
Agree with his philosophies
Then do the fucking dishes

All his life he been building a robot
Today is the day
Today is the day
All his life he been building a robot
Today is the day
Today's the bloody day

Now the villagers have gathered to see him outside
It's years since they seen him
They all thought he died
He takes the robot out and he turns it on
But it doesn't walk or talk
It doesn't even fall over
And the villagers are laughing
As he shakes an angry fist
And pleads with what looks like a pile of stones and sticks

All his life he thought he was building a robot
But a pile of sticks and stones
A pile of sticks and stones
All his life he thought he was building a robot
But a pile of sticks and stones
A pile of sticks and stones
A pile of sticks and stones
Was all
That he got
