K9's Lament

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
 I wasn't consulted, I was a little miffed
 Is this what I'm reduced to, just 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
 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
 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 should be
 I see other dogs in the park, they're fetching sticks and digging bones
 Never has a tin dog ever felt so alone
 Oh no
