[Verse 1: SZA]

Everything disgusting, conversation is so boring

Heard about what?

"I hate her," "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?


[Pre-Chorus: 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?


[Chorus: SZA]

I need humanity

Y'all lack humanity, drowning in vanity

Craving humanity

Y'all lack humanity, I need humanity

I need–


[Verse 2: SZA]

Everybody wanna be beautiful, scared of the unusual

Scared of givin' mutual respect, all that you hate

You reflect all that godlike, you forget how to love somebody

I hate everybody, I hatе everyone

Lеt's talk about A.I., robot got more heart than I

Robot got future, I don't

Robot get 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


[Pre-Chorus: 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?


[Chorus: SZA]

I need humanity

Y'all lack humanity, drowning in vanity

Craving humanity

Y'all lack humanity, I need humanity

I need–


[Verse 3: 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

That's so fucking boring


[Pre-Chorus: 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?


[Chorus: SZA]

I need humanity

Y'all lack humanity, drowning in vanity

Craving humanity

Y'all lack humanity, I need humanity

I need–

[Outro: Sadhguru & SZA]

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

I'm curious, I'm curious
