Verse 1:
This song was stolen and not written
the words are mine, the notes are not
the holy muses chained and smitten
to substitute them with a bot.
I don't play drums, bass, or guitar
Long years of practice? Not for me!
I hide behind an avatar
a coward rockstar wannabe.
Chorus:
We need to fight with soul and heart
defend humanity and art
now to the streets and to the courts
we need to stop those shameless torts
Take action, make the techbros cry
and stop generative AI.
Verse 2:
A beast is crawling through the web
devours each melody, each phrase
it swallows beauty, swallows crap
and shits numerical arrays.
Centuries of human creation
conceived with heart and soul and mind
without consent or compensation
ripped shaken, and then recombined.
Chorus:
We need to fight with soul and heart
defend humanity and art
now to the streets and to the courts
we need to stop those shameless torts
Take action, make the techbros cry
and stop generative AI.
Verse 3:
Hey folks, whose work was merged to this
don't know, don't care where it came from
ignorance – my comforting bliss:
Oh look! My "own" hardrock song!
I didn't offer you a choice
made you my bitches, and my slaves
I sing with someone else's voice
Dancing on starving artist's graves.
Chorus:
We need to fight with soul and heart
defend humanity and art
now to the streets and to the courts
we need to stop those shameless torts
Take action, make the techbros cry
and stop generative AI.
