My friend, Katharine Miller, draws robot cartoons and sells all kinds of robot paraphernalia. The main character is "Boris" who is kinda sad, as he sits alone and drinks martinis.

Boris was a robot in the middle of his life
Suzie was another that he hoped to make his wife
But Boris never told her all the things he had to say
Now Boris sits alone and drinks martinis every day

Suzie met a cash machine she thought would bring her fame
She thought she was a singer who could really make a name
But Suzie had a voicebox that could bring a man to tears
Now Suzie's dreams are shattered 'cuz she sounds like Britney Spears

Robots never cry
They have their hopes and dreams like you and I
They look up and they want to touch the sky
But robots never cry

Martin did his duty while he dreamed of seeing Mars
He struggled in Detroit all day just putting trunks on cars
Every day he told himself that he was gonna run
But they shut down the factory and now his life is done

Robots never cry
They have their hopes and dreams like you and I
They look up and they want to touch the sky
But robots never cry

Voltar was a robot who had plans to rule the world
Every day he waited till his plot could be unfurled
But Voltar didn't notice just how much the time went by
Now his brain's outdated and his fuel cells all went dry

Robots never cry
They have their hopes and dreams like you and I
But sometimes life just pokes them in the eye
But robots never cry

Robots never cry
They have their hopes and dreams like you and I
They look up and they want to touch the sky
But robots never cry
