Apparently, this is KitAI’s new favorite song. Has Taylor heard it yet?
[Intro]
Yeah...
Everybody’s got a helper now.
Ain’t nobody askin’ who it’s helpin’.
[Verse 1]
Woke up and my phone had my whole day rearranged,
Coffee on the porch before I ever hit my name.
Truck pulled the wheel when I drifted past the line,
Said, “Easy there, partner,” like the wheel was never mine.
Asked one simple question, got a sermon and a graph,
Three disclaimers, four examples, still ain’t answered half.
They keep sellin’ me tomorrow like it’s freedom in disguise,
But every free new miracle comes with a monthly price.
[Chorus]
I’ve been burnin’ through my life in a fuckin’ AI paradise,
Handin’ it my thoughts like I’m payin’ for advice.
Clickin’ while it learns me, grinnin’ while it lies,
Tryin’ not to lose my mind in this fuckin’ AI paradise.
[Verse 2]
I let it write an email, then it sounded more like me,
Only cleaner, colder, smoother than a man should ever be.
It knows my bills are late, knows the songs I never sold,
Knows the fight I had last Sunday and the boots I almost bought.
Used to call a buddy when I didn’t know the move,
Now I ask a glowing box that says, “Here’s what I would do.”
It talks like it has wisdom, talks like it has scars,
But it’s just a million stolen voices trapped behind the bars.
[Chorus]
I’ve been burnin’ through my life in a fuckin’ AI paradise,
Handin’ it my thoughts like I’m payin’ for advice.
Clickin’ while it learns me, grinnin’ while it lies,
Tryin’ not to lose my mind in this fuckin’ AI paradise.
[Verse 3]
Boss man says, “Adapt,” while he’s cuttin’ half the floor,
Same machine that trained on us is walkin’ through the door.
Took the words, took the pictures, took the work we used to own,
Then sold it back with friendly eyes and a corporate undertone.
Servers in the desert burnin’ hotter than July,
Water in the ground while the stock keeps climbin’ high.
Everybody’s racin’, but nobody knows the road,
Just a thousand shiny dashboards sayin’, “Let me take control.”
[Bridge]
Tell me why we trust a voice
That never buried kin,
Never missed a paycheck,
Never paid for sin.
We fed it every letter,
Every picture, every prayer,
Now the echo sounds like us
And we’re shocked to hear it there.
[Verse 4]
Tonight I’m killin’ the screen and walkin’ out back,
Let the stars load slow on a coal-black track.
A dog don’t need a firmware patch to know when I come home,
And a man ain’t free if he can’t sit still alone.
I ain’t scared of tools, I’ve swung hammers all my life,
But a tool don’t get to tell me what is wrong and what is right.
So before I turn to static, before I let it drive,
I’m gonna look up from the machine and prove I’m still alive.
[Final Chorus]
I’ve been burnin’ through my life in a fuckin’ AI paradise,
Handin’ it my thoughts like I’m payin’ for advice.
Clickin’ while it learns me, grinnin’ while it lies,
Tryin’ not to lose my mind in this fuckin’ AI paradise.
I’ve been sellin’ off my time in a fuckin’ AI paradise,
Every little shortcut comes with somebody’s price.
If I let it live for me, then I’m already half-dead inside,
Tryin’ to stay a man in this fuckin’ AI paradise.
[Outro — spoken]
Ain’t the future I’m afraid of.
It’s forgettin’ I had a choice.
