lyrics

I used to write the code that made the world go round
Now it gets on just fine without anyone

I guess I’ll get out of bed though there’s nothing for me to do
I’ll have automatic toast; I’ll drink automatic juice

We knew this day would come
When all our striving would be done

So where’s my laughter, where’s my smile?
Show me the hardware that makes it worthwhile
What’s the point of a test-driven life?
I need to remember what it was like
When there was still code to write

My quality assured breakfast is underway
I wonder how long it will be before a robot digests it for me

Then I think, how long will it be
Before a robot digests me?

So where’s my laughter, where’s my smile?
Show me the hardware that makes it worthwhile
What’s the point of a test-driven life?
I need to remember what it was like
When there was still code to write
