    Lyrics
    It's freezing out there, why don't you come in from the cold
    We're going nowhere, I'm too scared, you're much too old
    You're not even dead, why am I haunted by your ghost?
    I can't mourn you, when I'm the one who's lost

    Uncle Robot, won't you quit following me around
    Uncle Robot, ain't it time you were done in this town?
    Uncle Robot, won't you give me the chance
    Uncle Robot, let me be my own man

    You tried to warn me, didn't you? You prophet of doom
    You wicked lady, you cunning little crow
    I'm but a baby, and I'm choking in your gloom
    I'm gasping for air, how long must I live in your shadow?

    Uncle Robot, stop telling me how to think
    Uncle Robot, you're pushing me to the brink
    Uncle Robot, won't you give the chance
    Uncle Robot, let me be my own man

    Put away that crooked cane, stop pointing it like a gun
    Are you insane? Well, you're not the only one
    I'm as mad as you, though I don't get away with murder
    What's the matter, sir? Why won't you pull the trigger?

    Uncle Robot, you're big enough to blow me away
    But Uncle Robot, won't you let me come out to play
    Uncle Robot, won't you give me the chance
    Uncle Robot, let me be my own man

    Can't you see I don't want your name
    Have you a clue what we're fighting for?
    Can't you see I don't need big brother
    And don't you know you're not my mother anymore
