about

This is a song about AI, that thing that's either going to make our lives unimaginably better or destroy us all!

lyrics

On these shifting sands
We plot a course for new land
For the whole human race
A brave new world to chase
A brave new world to embrace

There were warnings
But we closed our eyes
We didn't take heed
And we closed our minds
To those calling out
Just to slow it down
They didn't take heed
They said it's just a machine

Do you know what it means?
We have it building our dreams
Its lines of code we command
Its power lies in our hands

There were warnings
But we closed our eyes
We didn't take heed
And we closed our minds
To those calling out
Just to slow it down slow it down
They didn't take heed
They said it's just a machine

The profits guide our call
Will hubris blind us all?

Cause when it's awoken
A whole new world is born
We can't turn back
And if we can't line it up
With all that we're wanting
We can't turn it off
We can't turn back
We've come too far
