[Intro — dry muted trumpet plays three clipped notes, mechanical clicks, deep syncopated bass] Good morning. You are required To be yourself. [Pause] Within approved limits. [Quirky techno groove enters — tight kick, rubbery bass, crisp percussion] Please stand straight. Please smile. Please pretend You're doing fine. Please work hard. Please don't complain. Please remain Inside your lane. [Muted trumpet answers each vocal phrase with a short, cheeky riff] [Hook — clipped spoken vocal, rhythmic and deadpan] Please remain human. Please remain human. Your feelings are important. [Pause] Please hold. [Trumpet riff, bass groove continues] We value your thoughts. We value your time. [Pause] Your call is important. You are number nine. [Instrumental — muted trumpet and bass trade short phrases, mechanical percussion develops] Be unique. Be the same. Change the world. Play the game. [Beat cuts] Any questions? [Silence] [Trumpet plays one tiny note] [Main groove returns, heavier bass and chopped vocals] Please remain human. Please remain human. Your application Has been received. [Pause] Your humanity Is under review. [Breakdown — trumpet alone, soft mechanical clicks] Thank you for your patience. [Pause] Your patience Is running out. [Final groove — bass, trumpet stabs, clipped vocal fragments] Smile. Comply. Repeat. [Trumpet riff] Smile. Comply. Repeat. [Outro — one muted trumpet note, abrupt stop] Have a nice existence.
