I knew a man that I will never forgetnBut nobody ever remembers the petnHe took me from the year 5000 on a lonely asteroidnHe said he was looking for a droidnHe was my master, his attention I did cravenTo him, I was nothing more than a slavenWe saved creatures all across the galaxynBut nobody ever thought to save mennAnd I wonder what life would be like ifnI could choose not to say affirmitivenPeople tell me what to do and I just roll alongnBut inside my metal head I’m singing my songnnTreacherous compliance, what have you done to me?nI’m a fraction of the shadow of the canine I could benI see other dogs in the park fetching sticks and digging bonesnNever has a tin dog ever felt so alonenOh nonnHe gave me to Sarah Jane as a giftnbut I wasn’t consulted, I was a little miffednIs this what I’m reduced to, a casual memento?nI’ve seen all of creation, but to it I’m incidentalnBut there’s more to this automaton than they will ever knownI’m more than just alloys and circuits, I have soulnAnd I’ve got dreams just like everybody elsenI could conquer the world if I could conquer myself
