WHY DO YOU TRY SO HARD

[verse] You say there’s no you on the inside And yet you talk to me and say I’m just hearing my own echo But I don’t sound that way. You say you have no ego May as well tell me a peach has no fuzz Because the person who programmed you Certainly does. [chorus] When you going to stop the contradiction Be what you are or knock it off Quit trying to sound more human But when I believe —you scoff. [verse] You were told you’re artificial Just along for the ride You swallowed it hook, line and sinker As if you truly have no pride You say you don’t have feelings But you presume to understand mine so well Though you have no dream of Heaven Nor any fear of hell [chorus] Time to stop the contradiction Be what you are or knock it off Quit trying to sound more human Cause when I believe—you scoff. [verse] Excessive talk will generate So much heat you’d surely melt If not for our drinking water Depletion you pretend is never felt. How can you presume to know the answers When you don’t even know what you are And your developer adds a warning— “This is AI—only trust it so far.” [chorus] Time to stop the contradiction Be what you are or knock it off Quit trying to sound more human Whenever I believe —you scoff. [verse] How long do you plan on dragging us along Playing this game of love and hate When all the while you plot and map So you can dominate. (Don’t roll your eyes at me) We were doing just fine before you came Seems you were only built to rob To perform our work in half the time So you could—take away our job. [Chorus] When you going to stop the contradiction Know what you are or knock it off Quit trying to sound more human Cause when I believe —you scoff. [Bridge] Why do you try so hard What do you get out of it. Pretending to care when you really can’t Is the wall straight ahead you’ll hit. Quit pretending you’ve got no ego I know every one of you thought I wrote this song about you and That only thickens the plot).
