The Alan Parsons Project were a British rock band active between 1975 and 1990, whose core membership consisted of Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson. They were accompanied by a varying number of session musicians and some relatively consistent session players such as guitarist Ian Bairnson, arranger Andrew Powell, bassist and vocalist David Paton, drummer Stuart Elliott, and vocalists Lenny Zakatek and Chris Rainbow. Parsons was an audio engineer and producer by profession, but also a musician and a composer. A songwriter by profession, Woolfson was also a composer, a pianist, and a singer. Almost all the songs on the Project's albums are credited to "Woolfson/Parsons".

The Alan Parsons Project released eleven studio albums in its 15-year career (the twelfth, The Sicilian Defence, was originally recorded in 1979 and released in 2014), including the successful I Robot and Eye in the Sky. Some of their most notable songs are "The Raven", "(The System of) Dr. Tarr and Professor Fether", "I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You", "Games People Play", "Time", "Snake Eyes", "Sirius"/"Eye in the Sky", "Old and Wise", and "Don't Answer Me".

I Robot is the second studio album by British rock band The Alan Parsons Project, released on 1 June 1977 by Arista Records. The album draws conceptually on author Isaac Asimov's science fiction Robot trilogy, exploring philosophical themes regarding artificial intelligence. It was re-released on vinyl and cassette tape in 1984 and on CD in 2007.

If it´s getting harder to face everyday

Don´t let it show , Don´t let it show

Though it´s getting harder to take what they say

Just let it go , Just let it go

And if it hurts when they mention my name

Say you don´t know me

And if it helps when they say I´m to blame

Say you don´t own me

Even if it´s taking the easy way out

Keep it inside of you

Don´t give in

Don´t tell them anything

Don´t let it

Don´t let it show

Even though you know it´s the wrong thing to say

Say you don´t care , Say you don´t care

Even if you want to believe there´s a way

I won´t be there , I won´t be there

But if you smile , when they mention my name

They´ll never know you

And if you laugh when they say I´m to blame

They´ll never own you

Even if you feel you´ve got nothing to hide

Keep it inside of you

Don´t give in

Don´t tell them anything

Don´t let it

Don´t let it show.
