About the Artist

The Automatic

The Automatic

Lyrics

Accessories

On a scale of one to ten

What number are you again?

I've got a preoccupation with quantifying

Every part of a human being

Every part and what it means

And turning it into a commodity

Where do I connect with this machine?

We have become accessories

Make your connections in flesh and blood

We have become accessories

In a hundred words or less tell me about yourself

It's so easy to know you when you're packaged on a shelf

And we're joined at the fingertips

By zeros and ones we'll be sold for the highest bid

What happens when the power goes out?

What happens when we're disconnected?

What happens when the power goes out?

What happens when we're disconnected?

Where do I connect with this machine?

We have become accessories

Make your connections in flesh and blood

We have become accessories

What happens

When the power goes out?

What happens

When the power goes out?

Where do I connect with this machine?

We have become accessories

Make your connections in flesh and blood

We have become accessories

Where do I connect with this machine?

We have become accessories
