Alexa Cifras

[Intro]
N.C.
And this one's got like an intro that goes
N.C.
Alexa, play Beans on Toast, Alexa
N.C.
So no one can listen to it on their Amazon Echo
 
[Verse 1]
F
Alexa can you hear me? Alexa are you listening?
C
Stupid question course you are, you're recording everything
F
You're monitoring everything that happens in this house
C
And you're painting a digital picture of us
F
Well how do we look? What did you find out?
C
I know you know the kind of music that we like
F
And the books that we read, the films that we watch
C
And now you can make suggestions based on previous purchases
F
You organised a Wagamama on Deliveroo
C
I got a shower curtain and an ice cream scoop
 
[Chorus]
Bb                    F
Six light bulbs and a brand new belt
C                                 F
Delivered to the front door of my house
Bb                      F
Individually wrapped in cardboard packaging
C                                      F
Five times the size of the item it was carrying
Bb                                  F
I've been buying more and more from Amazon recently
C
Alexa can you hear me?
 
[Verse 2]
F
Alexa you're so clever, you're so well informed
C
You can predicit the weather and the next news report
F
And it's not really spying, it's just collecting data
C
Alexa have you got a hidden agenda?
F
It's crazy to think how much the mindset has changed
C
And how much of our lives we're willing to give away
F
Well I remember privacy used to be important
C
Now we're bugging our own houses in the name of convenience
 
[Chorus]
Bb                              F
It's a dream come true for the advertisers
C                              F
Paid for and installed by the customers
Bb                          F
Microphones in living rooms across the land
C                                  F
Fanning the flames of a world gone mad
Bb                                      F
But I've been buying more and more from Amazon recently
C              F
Alexa can you hear me?
 
[Verse 3]
F
Alexa where are we heading? What will happen next?
C
And can you tell me the future of voice activated internet?
F
I know you can turn the heating off and organise a taxi
C
Alexa have you considered your military capabilities?
F
And how long will it be until the Amazon warehouse
C
Is bigger than the Amazon Jungle?
F
With Prime citizens in Amazon homes
C
Eating Amazon fruits and vegetables
 
[Chorus]
Bb                     F
It started as bookshop back in the day
C                                               F
And no one would have dreamed it would end this way
Bb                      F
With the sky blacked out from Amazon drones
C                             F
And an algorithm instead of a soul
Bb                       F
But no one could resist next day delivery
C             F
Alexa can you hear me?
