Disclaimer: I own neither Marvel's characters nor Styx's song.
Author's Note: Hey, guys. This parody just came to my mind while listening to Styx's Mr. Roboto. I was considering the lyrics, and I thought to myself: That kind of reminds me of Bucky. So I ran with it and made a slightly irregular but still decent parody that combines one of the best hits of the '80s with one of the best characters of the MCU. While I had to compromise and make some un-rhymes to hold to the original lyrics as much as possible, I hope this makes a fellow fan of '80s music smile.
P.S. If you haven't listened to the actual song, this will make no sense to you. Thankfully, it's on Youtube, so you don't have to go without it any longer.

What is it that you are, the Winter Soldier?
Are you man or machine?
What is it that you are, the Winter Soldier?
Do you have a soul unseen?
You're wondering what I am—
Asset or willing man.
With parts made in Japan,
Hydra's pawn for their plan.
I've got a secret I've been hiding under my skin.
My heart is human, my blood is living, my mind nearly lost.
So if you see me acting strangely, don't be surprised.
I'm just a man who forgot who he was, and whose mind was revised
To serve the despised—just serve the despised.
My mind was revised to serve the despised.
I'm not a robot without emotions—I'm not what you see.
I don't remember all that's happened, but you should be free.
An imposed order—this can't be best. I refuse; I decline.
I cannot kill Steve; he was my friend 'til the end of the line.
The end of the line;
The end of the line.
End of the line;
'Til the end of the line
I once did any task, and hid behind a mask
So none, not even me, knew my identity.
What is it that you are, the Winter Soldier?
Winter Soldier; Winter Soldier
What is it that you are, the Winter Soldier?
Winter Soldier; Winter Soldier
What is it that you are, the Winter Soldier?
Winter Soldier; Winter Soldier
What is it you are, the Winter Soldier?
If you're a man, why did you murder?
What is it you are, the Winter Soldier?
If you are a machine, why did you spare Steve?
Soldier? Soldier, Soldier!
The Winter Soldier!
Who are you?
The problem's plain to see: I lost humanity.
Missions to neutralize. Missions dehumanize.
The time has come at last
To throw away this mask
So now we all can see
My true identity
I'm Bucky! Bucky! Bucky! Bucky!
I hope you all enjoyed! PLEASE leave me a review to let me know what you thought!
