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
