Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto

Mata au hima de

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto

Himitsu o shiri tai

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

I've got a secret I've been hiding under my skin

My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain IBM

So if you see me acting strangely, don't be surprised

I'm just a man who needed someone and somewhere to hide

To keep me alive, just keep me alive

Somewhere to hide to keep me alive

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

I'm not a hero, I'm not a savior, forget what you know

I'm just a man who's circumstances went beyond his control

Beyond my control, We all need control

I need control, We all need control

I am the moldren man (Secret secret, I've got a secret)

Who hides behind a mask (Secret secret, I've got a secret)

So no one else can see (Secret secret, I've got a secret)

My true identity

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

(Thank you very much oh Mr. Roboto

for doing the jobs that nobody wants to)

Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto

(And thank you very much oh Mr. Roboto

for helping me escape just when I needed to)

Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto

(Thank you thank you thank you)

Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto

(I wanna thank you)

Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto

(Please thank you)

The problem's plain to see

Too much technology

Machines to save our lives

Machines de-humanize

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....
