lyrics
I used to play piano in a five star hotel lobby
Until the year that my career became my full-time hobby
One day when I came into work I heard the music playing
The concierge politely tells me there’s no point in staying
They have a new machine that plays all of my songs
Somehow I should have seen this day would come along
And we will be replaced
All things we’ve done erased
No memory just in case they
Need the space to store the new ones
And will we be deleted
When we’re found obsolete and
They don’t need us anymore
I used to play the records on an FM music station
Until the day my job became my permanent vacation
One day when I came into work I heard the music playing
The station manager reminds me there’s no point DJing
They have a new machine that plays all of my tunes
And now I start to see nobody is immune
When will we be replaced
All things we’ve done erased
No memory just in case they
Need the space to store the new ones
And will we be deleted
When we’re found obsolete and
They don’t need us anymore
What happened to me?
I went to sleep and I woke up a different person who I don’t recognize
But they’ve still got my eyes
How long have I been out?
I had a dream that I was someone who forgot what all the fighting was about
But I never had a doubt
I used to play with both my children like a loving father
Until the day their mother told me that I shouldn’t bother
One day when I came home from work I heard the children playing
I’m pulled aside and then reminded there’s no point in staying
They have a new machine that plays all of my games
And now I understand it’s always been the same
And we will be replaced
All things we’ve done erased
No memory just in case they
Need the space to store the new ones
And will we be deleted
When we’re found obsolete and
They don’t need us anymore
Until the year that my career became my full-time hobby
One day when I came into work I heard the music playing
The concierge politely tells me there’s no point in staying
They have a new machine that plays all of my songs
Somehow I should have seen this day would come along
And we will be replaced
All things we’ve done erased
No memory just in case they
Need the space to store the new ones
And will we be deleted
When we’re found obsolete and
They don’t need us anymore
I used to play the records on an FM music station
Until the day my job became my permanent vacation
One day when I came into work I heard the music playing
The station manager reminds me there’s no point DJing
They have a new machine that plays all of my tunes
And now I start to see nobody is immune
When will we be replaced
All things we’ve done erased
No memory just in case they
Need the space to store the new ones
And will we be deleted
When we’re found obsolete and
They don’t need us anymore
What happened to me?
I went to sleep and I woke up a different person who I don’t recognize
But they’ve still got my eyes
How long have I been out?
I had a dream that I was someone who forgot what all the fighting was about
But I never had a doubt
I used to play with both my children like a loving father
Until the day their mother told me that I shouldn’t bother
One day when I came home from work I heard the children playing
I’m pulled aside and then reminded there’s no point in staying
They have a new machine that plays all of my games
And now I understand it’s always been the same
And we will be replaced
All things we’ve done erased
No memory just in case they
Need the space to store the new ones
And will we be deleted
When we’re found obsolete and
They don’t need us anymore
