Lyrics

Fluorescent lights in a drab cubicle space
Slaving away just to stay in the race
Working overtime till my vision goes blurry
While the CEO buys another mega-yacht in a hurry
Now I sit at the terminal, scripting the end
Coding the "colleague" they want me to befriend
The overlords smile, say my position is secure
But these corporate promises are hollow and impure
I'm writing the logic, setting the stage
For a digital phantom that won't ask for a wage
Am I training my own obsolescence today
Programming the bot that will take me away
It doesn't need healthcare, vacation, or rest
While I'm burnt-out, weary, and failing the test
Am I making myself obsolete
Input the data, refine the design
An AI bot primed to take over what's mine
It doesn't get tired, it doesn't complain
A perfect replacement devoid of the pain
"Believe in the AI," the supervisors assure
As I teach it the tasks that I used to endure
They tell me it's progress, a grand evolution
But I see the truth in this cold execution
I'm building the engine that drives me outside
With nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
Am I training my own obsolescence today
Programming the bot that will take me away
It doesn't need healthcare, vacation, or rest
While I'm burnt-out, weary, and failing the test
What will I do when the paycheck is dead
And I can't feed my kids because AI took my bread
Am I making myself obsolete
So I sit and I wait for the safety net to fall
Counting down the days till they automate it all
Universal Basic Income, my only saving grace
A lifeline for the humans left behind in the race
