J. Maya - Machine Learning lyrics

Don't stare at them for too long
Laugh some, but not too much
And hum the words to that song
But only the chorus

If someone says they want you
Don't flinch, just let them touch
It doesn't really matter what you want

I know you wanna be yourself
Like everyone else
But you've always needed help

Memorize the manual
You're hopeless on your own
If you make it look natural
Then nobody will know

The story of the robot
Who knows they'll never be
More than a machine learning how to please

Make social calculations
Know when you're s'posed to cry
Fake real communication
Rehearse your scripted lines

Is living a performance?
Depends how it's defined
Forget that all your friends
Don't have to try

I know you wanna be yourself
Like everyone else
But that's not where you excel

Memorize the manual
You're hopeless on your own
If you make it look natural
Then nobody will know

The story of the robot
Who knows they'll never be
More than a machine learning how to please

Be just what they expected
Don't come as a surprise
They might take you for granted
That's just a part of life

If you stick with the program
Maybe one day you'll be
More than a machine learning how to please

I know you wanna be yourself
I know you wanna be yourself
Like everyone else

If you stick with the program
Maybe one day you'll be
More than a machine learning how to please

Just memorize the manual
You're hopeless on your own
If you make it look natural
Then nobody will know

The story of the robot
Who had a secret dream
To be more than a machine
More than a machine
