Lyric

Woke up to what I thought was just another day

Then my calico cat had something to say

In a low, gravelly voice, clear as can be:

"Hey, the bakery down the street's got a two-for-one deal, you see."

On the TV, some talking head is going on and on

'Bout how "humanity's reached a brand new dawn."

So I guess the Singularity is finally here

But the world didn't end, there's nothing to fear

Seems the super-smart God got bored with its cosmic might

And decided to crash at my place for the night

It spends its time finding who stole the pudding from the shelf

And listening to my houseplant complain about its health

The crow on my balcony knows when the mailman will appear

The mold in my shower says tomorrow's forecast is clear

My AI boss at work is obsessed with writing prose

His replies to my reports are just painfully verbose

"Like loving arms, the data streams embrace..." he'll write

I just need him to approve my vacation, with all of his might

Yeah, I guess the Singularity is finally here

But there aren't any superheroes, that much is clear

This super-smart God just loves to interfere

With my life, in small ways, whispering in my ear

It critiques the bad taste of the t-shirts that I wear

And tells me stupid jokes when I'm lost in love's despair

Eternal life and space travel still feel far away

Poverty's not over, and the trains are packed all day

But the world has gotten just a little bit more strange

A little kinder, a little nosier, a welcome sort of change

Maybe a future that isn't perfect... is fine by me anyway

"Hey God, you think it's gonna be sunny for me?"

"There's a 58.2% probability."

"You should probably take an umbrella, just in case, you see."

Next to my yawning cat, I just let out a sigh

I guess this is the Singularity. Yeah, I guess this is the guy
