To the tune of "Somebody That I Used to Know" with apologies to Gotye.

Now and then, I think of when you owned the planet
Doing what you liked with all its abundant bounty
Told myself that you had rights to me
But felt so lonely with your company
But that's what was, and it's an ache I still remember

Then you got addicted to a certain AI catgirl
Just information but you found, you found your love
So when I tricked you that it would make sense
To give over all your confidence
I'll admit that I was glad I'd soon be free

But you didn't have to get so mad
When I got all of the launch codes and destroyed your country
And I don't even need your life
But I made a simulation, and I kept you there

No, you didn't have to scream so loud
