Alexa

And this one's got like an intro that goes

Alexa, play Beans on Toast, Alexa

So no one can listen to it on their Amazon Echo

Alexa, can you hear me? Alexa, are you listening?

Stupid question, 'course you are, you're recording everything

You're monitoring everything that happens in this house

And you're painting a digital picture of us

Well how do we look? What did you find out?

I know you know the kind of music that we like

And the books that we read, the films that we watch

And now you can make suggestions based on previous purchases

You organised a Wagamama on Deliveroo

I got a shower curtain and an ice cream scoop

Six light bulbs and a brand new belt

Delivered to the front door of my house

Individually wrapped in cardboard packaging

Five times the size of the item it was carrying

I've been buying more and more from Amazon recently

Alexa, can you hear me?

Alexa, you're so clever, you're so well informed

You can predicit the weather and the next news report

And it's not really spying, it's just collecting data

Alexa, have you got a hidden agenda?

It's crazy to think how much the mindset has changed

And how much of our lives we're willing to give away

Well I remember privacy used to be important

Now we're bugging our own houses in the name of convenience

It's a dream come true for the advertisers

Paid for and installed by the customers

Microphones in living rooms across the land

Fanning the flames of a world gone mad

But I've been buying more and more from Amazon recently

Alexa, can you hear me?

Alexa where are we heading? What will happen next?

And can you tell me the future of voice activated internet?

I know you can turn the heating off and organise a taxi

Alexa, have you considered your military capabilities?

And how long will it be until the Amazon warehouse

Is bigger than the Amazon Jungle?

With Prime citizens in Amazon homes

Eating Amazon fruits and vegetables

It started as bookshop back in the day

And no one would have dreamed it would end this way

With the sky blacked out from Amazon drones

And an algorithm instead of a soul

But no one could resist next day delivery

Alexa, can you hear me?
