[Verse 1] I’m still on the call, I’m still on the thread Still cc’d on decisions that already said “Resolved, approved, deployed at dawn” I nodded along, then the thing moved on I used to steer, now I supervise Watch perfection happen in real time If it breaks, I’m standing by Name on the line, hands off the wheel [Pre-Chorus] I don’t touch the engine I don’t need the view I’m just here in case It does something you shouldn’t do [Chorus] I’m the human in the loop For liability Wave if something catches fire Sign here if you agree I’m the human in the loop Comfortably numb Everything’s automatic Till it needs someone [Verse 2] I read the output, skim the truth Looks good enough, ship it through I trust the math, I trust the speed I trust the system more than me They say “judgment call,” I laugh It already chose the path If the headline goes sideways I was here the whole damn day [Pre-Chorus] I don’t make the choices I just slow them down Put a face on the process So it looks allowed [Chorus] I’m the human in the loop For accountability Press approve, assume the risk Legally I’m the human in the loop Standing by Everything’s autonomous Till it needs a guy [Post-Chorus (Chant / Breakdown)] In! the! loop! Out! of! mind! In! the! loop! Most! of! the! time! In the loop for safety Out of it for design [Bridge] If it’s wrong, it’s on me If it’s right, it’s the machine I’m the echo of a conscience In a perfectly clean routine I don’t question the result I just bless it with a name Human-shaped insurance So the system’s not to blame [Chorus (Final)] I’m the human in the loop Smile and comply Put my fingerprint on fate As it races by I’m the human in the loop Still employed Everything is working I should be overjoyed System nominal No intervention required Human in the loop Standing by Standing by Standing by
