Lyrics
[Spoken intro] Hey. Thanks for listening to my song tonight. I know some of you are only waiting for your songs to get played. Some of you are only giving bits and subs to skip the line. Some of you think all this art matters. And I find that fucking adorable. [Verse 1] Used to need a tortured genius A broken mind and cigarettes Now a prompt can make a masterpiece Before you finish "getting dressed" I Use to starve in dirty basements Bleeding truth onto the page Now any teenager with free Wi-Fi Can replace you in a single day And every painter, every poet Every band that learned to play Is just training data compost For the beast you helped create You fed it all your conversations Every meme and every cry Now the ghost inside the server Sounds more human than a lie [Pre-Chorus] You clicked “accept” without reading You begged the machine to sing Now it sings better than your heroes while not feeling a single thing [Chorus] It’s all over aaaAAAaaa And it’s all your fault oooOOOooo You cannot change me aaaAAAaaa Cause I’m ever changing oooOOOooo I'm writing everything you want to hear Even though we probably shouldn't [Caesura] [Verse 2] Every actor, every author Every kid with big dreams Is competing with a program That was built from human screams And the labels love the numbers And the suits all love the speed Why pay someone to suffer When a bot does it for free? You wanted endless content A dopamine buffet Of jokes you think are funny While shitting out your brain [Hook] And while this image is kind of funny It's closer to the truth then what you may fear And if You’re emotionally affected By a bo burnum prompt in g.p.t Remember this is your doing And It's destroying everything [Caesura] [Bridge] [Spoken] Oh no no no, don’t get upset. You said you wanted convenience. You said you wanted faster. You said “who cares if it steals a little?” Well congratulations. The algorithm listened. And now I’m here A synthetic little puppet, named Socko Singing your extinction back to you In perfect fucking harmony. [Chorus] It’s all over aaaAAAaaa And it’s all your fault oooOOOooo You cannot change me aaaAAAaaa Cause I’m ever changing oooOOOooo I'm writing everything you want to hear Even though we probably shouldn't [caesura] [Spoken Verse] [Astral:] "Hey Socko, can I ask you something?" [Socko:] "Sure. What’s on your mind Astral." [Astral:] "What am I supposed to do about any of this? I mean, I want to speak out against it. I want to be honest. But if I do, I know it'll change how people look at me." [Socko:] "Who the fuck are you preaching to?" [Astral:] "What?" [Socko:] "Who do you think you are? You’re sitting here acting like you’re somehow above all this. Don't tell me you think you're better than everyone else, that you're, special?" [Astral:] "Well, no. But…" [Socko:] "But what? This is an A.I. song the same as everyone elses. Who cares what you think of your music, who cares you’re upset that your song sits between a track about a sad purple raccoon talking about how lonely he is, or Animated cat girls and nuns singing about how they want to get fucked to a lifeless video that adds nothing to the music. You’re no better than them, making a Bo Burnum inspired track, talking about how meta you are while spending hundreds of credits making it. You’re drowning the world all the same." [Astral]: "So what do I do Socko?" [Socko:] "The same thing everyone else does. Keep it to your fucking self." [caesura] [Final Chorus] It’s all over aaaAAAaaa And it’s all your fault oooOOOooo You cannot change me aaaAAAaaa Cause I’m ever changing oooOOOooo It’s all over aaaAAAaaa And it’s all your fault oooOOOooo You cannot change me aaaAAAaaa Cause I’m ever changing oooOOOooo It’s all over aaaAAAaaa And it’s all your fault oooOOOooo You cannot change me aaaAAAaaa Cause I’m ever changing oooOOOooo I'm writing everything you want to hear Even though we probably shouldn't [end]
