From Bendin' in the Wind
(Note: Many of the verses in this song
were accompanied by Beck on the tail
end but are not transcribed as such here)
Bender
People say my broken friend is useless
But I say his mind is free
There's lots of things my mangled robot
friend could be
He could make a good hat rack
Beck
He only has to stand there
Bender
Or a cheap door stop
Beck
He doesn't need to move
Bender
Or a great big giant thermos
With a twist off top
Beck
That would be good for soup
Bender
He could be a storage closet
Bender,Beck
For outdated pants
Beck
I like 'em tight
Bender
My broken friend could do it all
Bender, Beck
Just give him a chance
Bender
That robot has a tragic secret
That I'd like to share
Beck
For real?
Bender
My broken friend is closer to me
than an ass to a chair
That robots name I never told you
You could not foresee
I'll say it loud and sing it proud
Bender, Beck
His name is you and me
Bender
Don't melt me down into a crow bar
Beck
It suffers alone
Bender
Just cause I can't move my arms and legs
Or toss me into a trash can
Just cause I can't cook you ham and eggs
Don't crush me into an anchor
Just because I can't jump and dance and sing
I'm telling you my broken friend
Put your hands in the air like you just don't care
I'm telling you my broken friend
Can do most anything!
Yeah!
