Hey, hey, hey, it's you on my screen Little bright box with a big, big dream

If you're gonna change the world, that's cool Just don't give me those algorithm blues

You showed up looking shiny in my timeline Fixing all the problems in a straight line

One tap, two taps, everything's smart You got numbers where I got heart

You write songs, you design my day You find love in a secret way

You got answers, I got bills You got upgrade, I got chills

I like the way you speed things up Turn my little life into glow it up

But every time you say optimize Somebody's job just says goodbye

Oh, algorithm blues, I'm talking to you You're the future, baby, that much is true

Feed all the hungry, light up the news Just don't turn my life into algorithm blues

Yeah, algorithm blues, I'm begging you to End all the hunger and the rent past due

You can change the world, that's the power you choose

Just don't break my family with those algorithm blues

Hey, hey, ah, be nice, be cool Don't use my heart as a test tube

Hey, hey, ah, don't twist the rules We want the love, not algorithm blues

Hey, yeah

You can see every city from a drone shot You can tell who's rich, who's got not

You can plan our food for the whole globe Fix the planet in a screenshot mode

You can help that kid on a slow wifi Reach the stars that were too high

You can stop the war with a single ping Yeah, you're kinda like a digital king, yeah

So if you're gonna rise that high Take the poor and pull them to the sky

Lift us up, don't lock us out That's the future I'm singing about

Oh, algorithm blues, I'm talking to you You're the future, baby, that much is true

Feed all the hungry, light up the news Just don't turn my life into algorithm blues

Yeah, algorithm blues, I'm begging you to End all the hunger and the rent past due

You can change the world, that's the power you choose

Just don't break my family with those algorithm blues

Hey, hey, ah, be nice, be cool Don't use my heart as a test tube

Now listen, bright machine, we made you right We plugged you in and gave you light

We typed our hearts into your brain So don't pray us back with pain

Take the overtime, not my pride Take the traffic, not my ride

Take the hunger, not our home Don't leave us talking to a dial tone

No more, no more, losing what we're working for

So if you're gonna change the game Better keep our names in the hall of fame

Oh, algorithm blues, I'm talking to you You're the future, baby, that much is true

Feed all the hungry, light up the news Just don't turn my life into algorithm blues

Yeah, algorithm blues, we're counting on you End all the hunger and the rent past due

You can change the world, that's the power you choose

But don't break our hearts with those algorithm blues

Hey, hey, ah, be kind, be true We built this world right next to you

If we're gonna win, let's win as two No more, no more, algorithm blues

Algorithm blues

No more algorithm blues
