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 modren man

I've got a secret
I've been hiding
Under my skin
My heart is human
My blood is boiling
My brain I.B.M.
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 saviour
Forget what you know
I'm just a man whose circumstances
Went beyond his control
Beyond my control
We all need control
I need control
We all need control

I am the modren 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
Mr. Roboto
For doing the jobs
That nobody wants to
And thank you very much
Mr. Roboto
For helping me escape
When I needed to
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
I want to thank you
Please, thank you

The problem's plain to see
Too much technology
Machines to save our lives
Machines dehumanize

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
