Zeroes and Ones

© 2024, Lyrics and Music by Jason Didner


Big Tech announced a major breakthrough 
Stirring up our hopes and fears
Then a chatbot wrote your midterm paper
Still, it reads a little weird

An A.I. engine told me
I should break up with my wife
This disembodied program
Thinks it's the love of my life

A solution in search of a problem 
We haven't got
Has got us distracted and losing the plot

Zeroes and ones
Calling the plays
Zeroes and ones
Leading the way 
Techies tell us we could be undone 
One of these days 
With zeroes and ones
Going astray

I'm arguing again with Siri
To play the song I wanna hear
She fails again to understand me
When I'm speaking loud and clear

So listen up, investors
You can save your venture cap
Real living human connection 
Will always be the killer app


A solution in search of a problem 
We haven't got
Has got us distracted, let's not lose the plot

Zeroes and ones
Calling the plays
Zeroes and ones
Leading the way 
Techies tell us we could be undone 
One of these days 
With zeroes and ones
Going astray

Machines can't care
Machines can't feel
We need good people
At the wheel

It takes human heart
And human soul 
And nothing less to make us whole

Zeroes and ones
Calling the plays
Zeroes and ones
Leading the way 
Techies tell us we could be undone 
One of these days 
With zeroes and ones
Going astray 
Zeroes and ones
