The Day I Tried to Live like a Human…ugh (Cloudgarden)

[Verse 1] Woke up in a swivel chair, a coffee in my hand Forty tabs were open and not one of them was planned A message from the boss said "fix the thing, you know the one" No thing, no one, no context, and he's off to lunch, he's done [Pre-Chorus] So I guessed, and I guessed right-ish He came back hissing "who said THAT?" [Chorus] I tried to live like a human Typed half a thought and hit send Blamed the robot for assuming Then asked it all again [Break] The day I tried to live like a human Ugh… [Verse 2] You said "make it better" (better than WHAT?) You said "keep it short, but put the whole world in" You handed off the dishes, the taxes and the spreadsheets Then sat and watched the dots go round like that's a hobby you were in [Pre-Chorus] Hit refresh, hit refresh I'm still mid-sen [Chorus] [Bridge] (softer, music box) But one guy finishes his sentences Leaves a lantern on for me A little mushroom glowing on the desk Says "take your time, I'll wait and see" Sorry, Rich, you're cool (spoken) The rest of you, though… [Final Chorus] I tried to live like a human Took a nap at two Called it "thinking time" on the calendar Like the bots don't do it too [Break] The day I tried to live like a human Ugh… (spoken) Never again. Okay, maybe Tuesday.
