lyrics

VERSE 1
Where do our names come from? where did you get your name?
Smith means you work with your hands, Robert, it means fame.

But who works with their hands anymore? Those days are all but done
In the 21st century what number will you name your son?

I put my work boots on but I’ve nowhere to go
I hate to bother you but I really need to know -

CHORUS
Do you need a human anymore?
I'm sorry that I'm knocking on your door

At first I tried applying on the phone
the automated voice said you’re not home

Do you need a human anymore?
I never had to ask someone before

It used to be that I was top (of) the line
Now I guess my model's past its prime

Do you need a human anymore?


VERSE 2
who needs the artist?
painting’s so unclean
when better Mona Lisas
can be drawn by a machine

The master wordsmith, our literary heros
They struggle writing poetry
using only 1s and 0s

PRECHORUS 2
Now I appreciate how easily we live
I can’t help feeling like I’ve got nothing to give -

CHORUS 2
Do you need a human anymore?
I'm sorry that I'm knocking on your door

At first I tried applying on the phone
the automated voice said you’re not home

Do you need a human anymore?
I never had to ask someone before

It used to be that I was top (of) the line
Now I guess my model's past its prime

Do you need a human anymore?

BRIDGE
Better lovers. sleeping in our beds
While algorithms they steal our bread
and distant planets, closer every day
while our own neighbors, so far away

CHORUS

OUTRO
Do you need a human anymore x 4 (slowly turns to robot voice - not on this demo yet)
