SZA - Ghost In The Machine Lyrics

SZA Lyrics

"Ghost In The Machine"
(feat. Phoebe Bridgers)

[SZA:]
Oh-oh
Oh-oh, mm-mm, mm

Everything disgustin', conversation is so borin'
Heard about what? I ain't heard, I don't agree, I did it first
I give a fuck, I just wanna fuck, eat, sleep, love happy
Can you make me happy? Can you keep me happy?

Can you distract me from all the disaster?
Can you touch on me and not call me after?
Can you hate on me and mask it with laughter?
Can you lead me to the ark? What's the password?

I need humanity
You're like humanity, drownin' in vanity
Cravin' humanity
You're like humanity, I need humanity
I need–

Anybody wanna be beautiful, scared of the unusual
Scared of givin' mutual respect, all that you hate
You reflect all the godlike, you forget how to love somebody
I hate everybody, I hate everyone
Let's talk about A.I., robot got more heart than I
Robot got future, I don't, robot can't sleep
But I don't power down, I'm wide open, I'm awake
I'm on autopilot, I'm out of my mind and I'm wide open

Can you distract me from all the disaster?
Can you touch on me and not call me after?
Can you hate on me and mask it with laughter?
Can you lead me to the ark? What's the password?

I need humanity
You're like humanity, drownin' in vanity
Cravin' humanity
You're like humanity, I need humanity
I need–

[Phoebe Bridgers:]
You said all of my friends are on my payroll
You're not wrong, you're an asshole
Screaming at you in the Ludlow
I was yours for free
I don't get existential
I just think about myself and look where that got me
Standin' on my own in an airport bar or hotel lobby
Waiting to feel clean
It's so fucking boring

[SZA:]
Can you distract me from all the disaster?
Can you touch on me and not call me after?
Can you hate on me and mask it with laughter?
Can you lead me to the ark? What's the password?

I need humanity
You're like humanity, drownin' in vanity
Cravin' humanity
You're like humanity, I need humanity
I need–

[SZA (Sadhguru):]
Those who have forsaken their humanity
They like to patch their life with morality
(I think I might be tryna patch my life with morality)
Curious, I'm curious
