lyrics

Have I ever made anybody smile?
I don't fucking know.
Have I ever made anybody laugh?
I don't fucking know.
Have I ever made anybody cry?
I don't fucking know.
I don't even know if anybody knows that I exist.
Maybe I'm all alone inside a computer generated simulation,
and the robot running the simulation has been busy with I don't know what.
Maybe the robot has never laid its robot eyes upon me.
Maybe the robot has never laid its robot eyes upon me.
Or, if it has laid its robot eyes upon me,
maybe I've never made it smile, laugh, or cry,
because it was never programmed to smile, laugh, or cry.
Maybe it was never programmed to smile, laugh, or cry.
When I die, will anybody cry?
I don't fucking know.
When I die, will anybody miss me?
I don't fucking know.
When I die, will anybody be glad?
I don't fucking know.
I don't even know if anybody knows that I exist.
Maybe I'm all alone inside a computer generated simulation,
and the robot running the simulation has been busy with I don't know what.
Maybe the robot has never laid its robot eyes upon me.
Maybe the robot has never laid its robot eyes upon me.
Or, if it has laid its robot eyes upon me,
maybe I've never made it smile, laugh, or cry,
because it was never programmed to smile, laugh, or cry.
Maybe it was never programmed to smile, laugh, or cry.
If I am indeed inside a computer generated simulation,
what is the point of this simulation?
Maybe the robot running this simulation forgot about it,
and it will never lay its robot eyes upon me.
I don't know anything, and I never will.
I don't know anything, and I never will.
