Dafydd Bowen - Do You Want To Marry Your Car?
When the alien drivers in electric hyper cars
Took on all our roles
And drove us all to bars.
What was left of humankind
Wrote some new life goals
Put on radioactive lipstick and
Played some rock and roll.
Do you want to marry your car?
Now technology is cuter
Do you want to marry your car?
Not a computer
We’ve come so very far
This is the future.
So the android dancers
And the robots of the night
Built a technocratic entity
Machine learning is alive
This gender identity crisis
Gives me no flashbacks
In my ego I identify
As a Japanese 3-door hatchback.
Do you want to marry your car?
Now technology is cuter
Do you want to marry a car?
Not a computer
Oh we’ve come so very far
This is the future.
Love is on the highway
My hands aren't on the wheel
Driver aids are doing the driving
Doesn't mean that
We don't feel.
I’m not what you think I am
You’re an intelligent auto car
I’m a man who loves machines
Together we’ll go far
I’ll teach you how to think in love
And maybe how to dream.
GUITAR SOLO
And so when human riders
Rode in autonomous uber cars
They didn't learn how to drive
Just took Elon’s rockets to Mars
We created relationships
But they had it in their lap
Social mobility and love
Just swipe
Download an android app.
Do you want to marry your car?
Now technology is cuter
Do you want to marry a car?
Not a computer
Oh we’ve come so very far
This is the future.
Do you want to marry your car?
Do you want to marry your car?
Do you want to, marry your car?
Do you really want to marry your car?
I do
This is the future
Let’s all marry our cars.
