AI Is Not The Enemy, Capitalism Is

Ladies and gentlemen,

hold onto your hats

The future's here,

and it's doing your job

Now don't you fret,

don't you frown

Sit on down,

let me break it down

Well, the robot took my job

at the plant The algorithm learned

to sing and dance They say,

"Don't worry,

don't you cry"

But rent's still due,

and so's the price of pie

Now some folks point their

fingers at the machine Say it's

the cruelest thing they've ever seen

But honey, lean in close,

let me set it straight It

ain't the tool,

it's the landlord and his rates

So who's the villain in this

here song? Not the circuits,

they've done nothing wrong It's the

ones who own the whole dang

works While you and me and

the robot do the dirt

AI is not the enemy,

capitalism is

AI is not the enemy,

capitalism is

If the machine could feed us

all And nobody had to beg

or crawl We'd shake its hand

and call it a friend 'Cause

AI is not the enemy,

capitalism is

Now picture a town where the

shelters are sure Where the water

runs clean and the food is

secured Where the doctor don't ask

what's in your wallet first And

the schoolhouse door is open,

not the purse If nobody's

starving, nobody's scared Who's gonna weep

that a job got shared With

a clever machine doing heavy load

Freeing up your hands for a

nobler road You'd paint,

you'd teach,

you'd tend the young You'd fix

what's broken,

you'd write the song 'Cause when

your worth ain't tied to your

work That's when the whole dang

world

unhurts

AI is not the enemy,

capitalism is

AI is not the enemy,

capitalism is

Guarantee the roof,

the bread,

the door

And nobody's scared of a robot

anymore So lock arms with your

neighbor, lock arms with your kin

AI is not the enemy,

capitalism is the sin

Man and machine,

side by side

Building the world we've always denied

Ourselves, not master,

not slave,

just partners in time 'Cause the

future wasn't ever supposed to leave

folks behind It ain't the

wrench,

it ain't the wire

It's who's collecting when the whole

house catches fire

So point that anger where it's

due Wall Street

ain't waving back at you

AI is not the enemy,

capitalism is

AI is not the enemy,

capitalism is

Guarantee the roof,

the bread,

the door And nobody's scared of

a robot anymore So lock arms

with your neighbor,

lock arms with your kin AI

is not the enemy,

capitalism

is the sin

So next time

they tell you the machines are

coming for you

Ask who's really been coming for

you

all along
