Artificial Supidity

A song about society's troubled relationship with new technology. Chorus: Artificial stupidity Technology is making me look stupid Highlighting my inability In a brave new world Verse 1: I tried to open the thing on my computer But it was having none of it There was a problem with the software on the router I couldn’t get the app to quit I tried calling tech support to get assistance There was no number on the site I’m wondering if it really does exist and I’ve been here searching half the night Chorus: Artificial stupidity Technology is making me look stupid Highlighting my inability In a brave new world Verse 2: Here on the phone I had to press a yellow button But a popup message covered it. Tired of these games. I’m sat here on my butt and Can’t seem to get the screen to fit. The march of progress is fast and unrelenting The grown up children with their toys An application that didn’t need inventing It all becomes just background noise Chorus: Artificial stupidity Technology is making me look stupid Highlighting my inability In a brave new world Middle 8: They say technology is there to make our lives so much better But in truth I miss my pen and paper and stamps, when I’m posting a letter Verse 3: Just when I’ve bought myself a faster new computer Another comes along that night Just like the guy I am in that first person shooter I’m killing everything in sight Is artificial intelligence the reason People don’t seem to be too bright Will I be next. Will I be hung for treason It’s keeping me awake at night Chorus: Artificial stupidity Technology is making me look stupid Highlighting my inability In a brave new world Chorus: Artificial stupidity Technology is making me look stupid Highlighting my inability In a brave new world
