Laptop cable

 And low Abraham gave his laptop cable to Isaac

And Isaac lent it to Jakob

And Jakob, took it up the ladder

But it wasn't long enough to reach heaven

And Cain and Abel

Had a fight over a laptop cable

Because Abel wouldn't give it back

Cain stabbed him in the back

All over a laptop

In the lap of the Gods

The laptop cable  worked

Powered by Zeus'

Lightning generator

But up in mount olympus

There is very poor wifi signal

So they don't really know what's going on

Ai killed the man in me

 Ai killed Riki Lake

And Montel Williams

Ai killed the king

And it killed my girlfriend

Ai killed everything

Ai even killed me, her me sing

Has Ai killed everything?

Ai's killed the man in me


Ai killed the woman too

Killed the unborn baby

Ai killed the child, their childhood

Free from maybe

No more dreams, only facts

Only possibilities of brass tacks

Realities so virtual, yet outside of my control

Ai has killed the man in me

Ai's robbed me of my soul


No I don't want to get dramatic

I don't want to sound too drole

Because if you know the algorithm

I'm sure it would return what it stole

But once a candle is blown out

It's hard to see in the dark

And this wind of change is blowing without a spark

Are ideas of consciousness even weighed in the scales

Or is all that's on the mind of governments how to make big sales? 


What if I told you of the Tolpuddle Martyrs

Or the weavers

Or the Luddites

Who trashed the loom machines

That took their jobs

And kicked them out on the street

In a heartless modernization?

What if progress is no friend to 

National spirit or culture or tradition?

What if we sell our souls

At the price of bottom dollar

Just to satisfy big business mission?

Who ever asked me if I want

my child brought up by a robot army

And not a real human being?

Ai's killed everything

And no one even asked me!

Ai killed the man in me

And replaced me with a robot


If they had asked us first, like with GM foods

Where there was moratorium

Maybe we would pause for thought, 

a measure of public mood

But as it is the ai has done the thinking 

For us, it's told its creator it needs this

It was such a dazzling temptation

An end to all working

No more enslavement

But I still see beggars on the pavement

While Ai's running the government

Ai has killed everything

Ai's killed the man in me


Give me trees, and flowers and nature

Give me a sky and some distance

I need to move my body

And be breathing

Far from these satanic mills

Of mind training

Ai will try to kill everything!

Ai will try to kill the human in you

If you don't watch what it's doing

So maybe we shut just switch off

Let's turn off the machines

And take a walk back in the world

And rediscover what is green
