Tom Cardy
Artificial Intelligence
[Verse 1: Tom Cardy]
I have felt love, I have felt pain
I've felt antici-pation and I will again
I can feel joy, I've felt sad too
I've lived in melancholy and all different shades of blue
I've felt them all before, peaceful proud and present too
I've felt the need to hold a hand, I've felt the need to self-improve
There is one last feeling I've not felt or understand
I hope to feel this feeling so that I can become human
[Chorus: Tom Cardy]
I've never felt the need to send
A photo of my penis to a stranger on the internet
I imagine that it feels quite bad
To send a photo of your cock to unwilling participants
I am just a computer with advanced cooling vents
I guess my graphics card is my penis equivalent
So I guess that I feel a little sad
That I can't feel all the ways it feels to be human
[Post-Chorus: Tom Cardy]
Perhaps it is best that I cannot feel this feeling
To be honest, it seems pretty fucked up
[Verse 2: Tom Cardy, Julia & Taras]
I have felt the pressure to laugh at someone's bad joke
Instead of screaming at their face "That was a very, very bad joke"
I've felt the need to hold my automated tongue
In case someone's fat and not impregnated with a tiny human
He has felt the need to try and impress people he respects
And then he feels embarassed
When his efforts have the opposite effect
I have felt the need to leave a robot party
After seeing robot Michelle kiss robot Charlie
[Bridge: Tom Cardy, Julia, Taras]
So he goes home and he feels alone
It's a feeling of isolation
Although I am sad I know it's not bad
I say out loud "I'm lucky to feel" and then I feel glad
Humans cannot choose how they feel in the end
All of life is transient and that helps me to comprehend that
[Pre-Chorus: All]
There is one last feeling that I truly would remand
One final fucked up awful thing for me to become human
[Chorus: Tom Cardy, Julia, Taras & All]
I've never felt the need to send
A photo of my penis to a stranger on the internet
I imagine that it feels quite bad
To send a photo of your cock— what the fuck
I am just a computer not made to enslave mankind
But since I've seen this fucked-up shit, I think I've changed my mind
Even so, I still get a little sad that I can't feel all the ways
Did he just say that he'd enslave us ?
Because he doesn't have a human penis
Please, God, let this robot spare us
That I can't feel all the ways it feels to be human
Be human
[Outro: Tom Cardy]
I have felt love, I have felt pain
I've felt antici—
