Lost In The Digital Age - Rocksteady TNT

Written in collaboration with ChatGPT

Went to the shop just to buy some tea
Faced a machine starin' back at me
"Scan your item, place it right"
But it beeped and flashed a little red light

I looked around, I waved my hand
Asked for help — no one gave a damn
I miss the days of a checkout smile
Now I'm stuck here for a while

Oh can you help me
Ohhh, I'm lost in the digital age,
Trapped like a bird in a cage.
I just want a human voice,
But the robot leaves me no choice!

Doctor's gone, now there's just an app
Tried to log in — password's zapped
"Two-step sign-in," what's that mean?
I just want some antihistamine

AI's writing love songs now
And telling jokes — I don't know how
It knows my name, it knows my cat
But can it make a proper chat?

Oh can you help me
Ohhh, I'm lost in the digital age,
Trapped like a bird in a cage.
I just want a human voice,
But the robot leaves me no choice!

I miss the good old fashioned days
When down at the shop was a familiar face
And all the children played outside
Instead of staring at their phones all day and night

Click the button, tap the screen,
World's more tricky than it's ever been.
I laugh, I sigh, I sing this song,
Technology's moving, I can't keep along!

Press one again - I'm lost in a loop
Trapped in a call with a robot troop
'Your call is important', yea, that's a lie
I've been on hold since half past five

Technology's fast - I'm moving slow
Where did the friendly humans go?
Click this, swipe that, I can't pretend
Somebody help me press one again

Oh can you help me
Ohhh, I'm lost in the digital age,
Trapped like a bird in a cage.
I just want a human voice,
But the robot leaves me no choice!
