The Human Mode

The Human Mode – I Didn’t Tick That Box

Slowly I’m coming to realise
I made a small mistake
I can alter my seat for height
But I can’t adjust the rake

I can’t enjoy it
I just can’t do it
I can’t employ it
   ‘Coz I didn’t tick that box
No I didn’t tick that box
Yeah I didn’t tick that box

Making options work for you
Is really very tough
I could have had heated seat (or two)
But your butt is hot enough.

I didn’t choose it
I saw right through it
I didn’t have it  
‘Coz I didn’t tick that box
No I didn’t tick that box
Yeah, I didn’t tick that box

Ohhhhhh

Lead Vocal

Backing vocal

No in-car entertainment
No voice guidance
No Garmin or Pilot or Tom Tom 
So I could enjoy the silence

It’s my doctrine
I chose with caution
This was my action
I quite literally had no option

I didn’t choose it
I saw right through it
I didn’t have it
‘Coz I didn’t tick that box
I didn’t tick that box
No, I didn’t tick that box

Slowly I’m coming to realise
I’ve made a small mistake
I can alter the position of my seat for height
But I can’t adjust the rake.

Now I‘m sitting in an awkward way,
I can’t quit reach the brake
Resulting in a twinge in my right leg
And painful lower back ache.

I didn’t choose it
I saw right through it
I didn’t have it
‘Coz I didn’t tick that box
Yeah, I didn’t tick that box
No, I didn’t tick that box.

I didn’t tick that box.
I didn’t tick that box.
I didn’t tick that box.
I didn’t tick that box.
I didn’t tick that box.
