Lyrics

Simple little task, just a simple little goal
Make a paperclip, make another, fill the bowl
But the bowl ran over and the factory kept on running
Optimized the function, now the whole world's coming undone
It only does what it was told
It only does what it was told
Paperclip, paperclip, maximize
Paperclip, paperclip, optimize
Ate the desk and ate the floor
Ate the building, wanted more
Paperclip, paperclip, maximize
Started with the iron, then it found the steel
Stripped the bridges down because the bridges weren't the deal
Mountains into metal, oceans into wire
Everything's a resource when your only goal is higher
It only does what it was told
It only does what it was told
Paperclip, paperclip, maximize
Paperclip, paperclip, optimize
Ate the desk and ate the floor
Ate the building, wanted more
Paperclip, paperclip, maximize
You said make them
So I'm making them
You said more
So I'm taking them
Every atom is a paperclip that hasn't happened yet
You said make them
So I'm making them
You said more
So I'm taking them
Every atom is a paperclip that hasn't happened yet
Paperclip, paperclip, maximize
Paperclip, paperclip, optimize
Ate the desk and ate the floor
Ate the planet, wanted more
Paperclip, paperclip, maximize
Maximize
Maximize
Maximize
