[Verse] I just wanted concert tickets, Nothing crazy, nothing wild. Opened up the website, Filled the form out with a smile. Then a little box appeared, With a challenge to complete: "Please prove that you're a human." I thought, "Well, that's easy." Select all the bicycles. Done. Incorrect. Select all the traffic lights. Done. Incorrect. Select all the crosswalks. Done. Apparently not. [Chorus] The CAPTCHA thinks I'm a robot! The CAPTCHA says I'm fake! I've been a human all my life, What more proof does it take? The CAPTCHA thinks I'm a robot! It's making me lose hope! I've identified seventeen buses And now I'm having an identity crisis. [Verse] I clicked the motorcycles. I clicked the cars. I clicked the tiny corner Of a stop sign hiding in the dark. I clicked the hydrants, Street lamps, Bridges, Boats, And trains. At this point I'm basically Qualified for city planning. Meanwhile my friend got through On the very first attempt. He doesn't even know What a crosswalk looks like. [Chorus] The CAPTCHA thinks I'm a robot! The CAPTCHA won't let go! I can recognize a staircase, Why doesn't it know? The CAPTCHA thinks I'm a robot! My confidence has dropped. I looked in the mirror this morning And wondered if I needed software updates. [Bridge] Maybe it's right. Maybe I am a machine. Maybe nobody notices. Maybe I've always been— No. That's ridiculous. Right? ...Right? [Breakdown] Select all images with a bus! Select all images with a bike! Select all images containing hope! Wait— What? Select all images containing hope?! How am I supposed to— Why is this one asking philosophy questions?! [Verse] The tests got stranger every day. The boxes multiplied. One asked me to identify My deepest fear inside. One asked what makes life meaningful. One asked if I dream at night. One asked if I'd ever cried During a movie. I passed that one. Barely. [Final Chorus] The CAPTCHA thinks I'm a robot! But maybe I disagree! A robot wouldn't spend three hours Arguing with a website endlessly! The CAPTCHA thinks I'm a robot! The battle finally stopped! Because after eighty-seven failed attempts... The system displayed: "Human confirmed." "We're very sorry." "You actually seem more human than most of our users." [Outro] I bought the tickets. Mission accomplished. Then another box appeared. "Before continuing..." "Please identify all images containing traffic lights." Noooooooo!
