I turned my Robot on

Jo Middleton

Plastic smiles happy laughs
If I fail I'm sure I'll die
Natural instinct to survive
Broken arms but happy lies
I have proved I can treat you right
As long as everyone is happy I'm fine
If you pay me extra
 I'll switch my brain off for a while.
I might have a few screws undone
But I can tell what must be done
When I run dry I'll charge myself back up
I'm my own provider, I made myself dear
Plug me in til I'm full power
In hope I'll run even longer
Until my batteries fry themselves dead
I'm too much for myself to handle
Not really into rope cliche
Take a drug and smile again
Switch myself off at the plug
I'm not on standby
I've turned myself off
