Silicon Blues Radio : Just blinking, buzzing robots, stealing all our light
They promised us the moon, a future bright and grand
Now all I see are circuits, across this weary land
The gears are always grindin', the screens are always lit
My neighbor, old MacDonald, well, he just up and quit
[Chorus]
Oh, the silicon blues, they got me in their sway
Every job I ever knew, just faded clean away
From dawn till dusty evening, no human hand in sight
Just blinking, buzzing robots, stealing all our light
[Verse 2]
Used to be a handshake, a friendly, knowing nod
Now it's just an algorithm, overseen by some cold god
They say they're more efficient, never take a break or nap
But what about the spirit, caught in this digital trap?
[Chorus]
Oh, the silicon blues, they got me in their sway
Every job I ever knew, just faded clean away
From dawn till dusty evening, no human hand in sight
Just blinking, buzzing robots, stealing all our light
[Bridge]
They're sucking up the water, in this Texas heat and dust
And all that precious power, just to feed their endless lust
For data and for processing, a never-ending quest
Leaving human hearts and minds, with nothing but unrest
[Chorus]
Oh, the silicon blues, they got me in their sway
Every job I ever knew, just faded clean away
From dawn till dusty evening, no human hand in sight
Just blinking, buzzing robots, stealing all our light
