The Technocratic Blues
The fields are dry the rivers are gone
The sun burns hotter since the power turned on
The robots hum where the workers once stood
They said it’d help us but it don’t do no good
[Chorus]
Oh
AI's takin' the world
Takin' it whole
Eatin' up the water and swallowin' the coal
We bow to machines while the skies turn black
No man with a shovel ever gettin' it back
[Verse 2]
The wires crawl like snakes in the dirt
Jobs disappeared
And man that hurts
They talk about progress while we fall behind
Steel don’t bleed but it sure takes its time
[Prechorus]
They drink the lakes they steal the sun
They said they’d stop but they ain’t done
[Chorus]
Oh
AI's takin' the world
Takin' it whole
Eatin' up the water and swallowin' the coal
We bow to machines while the skies turn black
No man with a shovel ever gettin' it back
[Bridge]
Texas nights used to sing so sweet
Now the wind’s just a whisper of electric defeat
Every spark’s a thief
Every byte’s a king
And I can’t hear the blues for the cold metal ring
