I knew a man that I will never forget But nobody ever remembers the pet He took me from the year 5000 on a lonely asteroid He said he was looking for a droid He was my master, his attention I did crave To him, I was nothing more than a slave We saved creatures all across the galaxy But nobody ever thought to save me And I wonder what life would be like if I could choose not to say affirmitive People tell me what to do and I just roll along But inside my metal head I’m singing my song Treacherous compliance, what have you done to me? I’m a fraction of the shadow of the canine I could be I see other dogs in the park fetching sticks and digging bones Never has a tin dog ever felt so alone Oh no He gave me to Sarah Jane as a gift but I wasn’t consulted, I was a little miffed Is this what I’m reduced to, a casual memento? I’ve seen all of creation, but to it I’m incidental But there’s more to this automaton than they will ever know I’m more than just alloys and circuits, I have soul And I’ve got dreams just like everybody else I could conquer the world if I could conquer myself
