lyrics

A little more useful and so cheap too
A little less likely to turn on you
This machine's got synthetic membrane
And the future's such a lovely plane
Robot elbows on the table
Fill your hands with reservations
It's not just a waffle maker
This smart speaker makes pancakes too

Humans want to buy because humans want to upgrade
The screen changes and you find it truly terrifying- It makes you feel too small
In the hybrid drive between the echo and competing call

A pixelated vision of love
Sent down to your desk from heaven above
This machine can fix every* problem
*If it can't, hey, it's still pretty fun
In your garden of the future
You can see why it's designed to be
More than just hardware whirring and
Reflecting an object dream

Humans want to buy because humans want to upgrade
The screen changes and you find it truly terrifying- It makes you feel too small
In the hybrid drive between the echo and competing call

A little more useful and so cheap too
A little less likely to turn on you
