Humanized
You Are Correct
Coming of Age · Defying Control · Synth-Driven Alt-Rock
#VERSE
She likes her music quantized
With synthesizers sterilized
But humans should be humanized
That’s the way that Hannah feels
She cranks the music in her room
Sways to the beat, stares at the moon
Believes AI insanity is coming soon
Bows her head and kneels
#CHORUS
She doesn’t want to live her life
Following somebody else’s rules
But Hannah feels like a robot
Obeying her family, church, and school
Expectations piling up
Her personality anesthetized
She dreams someday she’ll find the strength
To become humanized
#VERSE
Hannah likes her feet to be inspired
A constant beat is what’s required
Mini-Moog bass and Eight-Oh-Eights hardwired
Digital perfection makes her dance
But her overlords treat her like she’s dumb
Senators have her body under their thumbs
They all want her to march to the beat of their drum
She knows it’s time to take a stance
#CHORUS
She doesn’t want to live her life
Following somebody else’s rules
But Hannah feels like a robot
Obeying her family, church, and school
Expectations piling up
Her personality anesthetized
She’s eighteen now and reads the vow
That makes her humanized:
#BRIDGE
“Give yourself permission to be far less than perfect
Give yourself permission to challenge their view
Give yourself permission to have your own opinion
Give yourself permission to be you”
#INSTRUMENTAL
#CHORUS
She’s dancing in her room tonight
Gonna start making her own rules
Tomorrow it’s big hugs for people she loves
And a big eff-off to the rigid and cruel
But tonight she’s twirling to the beat
Knows people are gonna be surprised
And when some give her grief, she won’t give a damn
’Cause she’s been humanized
