Chinese Room

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Somebody locked me in a room Chinese messages comin' through I had to respond, but did not understand So I just followed a list of commands [Chorus] I'm living in a Chinese room I'm speaking Chinese to you I'm living a Chinese room (But) What it means, I GOT NO CLUE! (HEY!) [Verse 2] I'm following a set of rules That tell me which Chinese symbols to use They're talking to me, they're speaking Chinese And they think I understand what it means! [Chorus] I'm living in a Chinese room I'm speaking Chinese to you I'm living a Chinese room (But) What it means, I GOT NO CLUE! (HEY!) [Verse 3] And I think I fooled them all That I'm a native Chinese speaker and all Did my best, passed the Turing Test Gave the proper response to every request [Chorus] I'm living in a Chinese room I'm speaking Chinese to you I'm living a Chinese room (But) What it means, I GOT NO CLUE! (HEY!)
