0:01 AI is a time machine. The song that
0:03 follows here I wrote in 1987 with Robin
0:07 Rose and Todd Merrill. They were my
0:09 roommates in East Harlem in New York
0:11 City. And we had a really I had a really
0:14 crappy MP3 of a fourtrack recording of
0:16 this song and I just spent about I don't
0:19 know 15 or 20 minutes creating 25
0:21 versions of it in Suno. And this is the
0:24 song we wrote. I added some verses and
0:27 some rearranging of the lyrics, but holy
0:30 crap. AI is a time machine. It's
0:33 amazing.

1:22 to this monotony.
1:25 This monotony.

1:28 You look like a warm one. Your future
1:31 all said. Let me lick your pockets. I'll
1:34 take what I can get. I don't need your
1:38 kindness, your contact, your jokes, or
1:41 your pitiful love. Do you have any
1:44 smokes?
1:46 Can't go back to Kansas or three channel
1:49 TV.
1:51 You know what's coming. Your future is
1:53 me. The rats control the sewer pipe. And
1:57 in this waste, they multiply and feed
2:00 upon their young.
2:03 And here
2:06 they flock,
2:08 they strain,
2:10 they push
2:13 to be
2:15 much more
2:17 than they can be.
2:22 Eyes
2:24 like sharks
2:26 that lack
2:29 the life
2:31 to look
2:33 upon
2:35 their destiny.
2:40 To kill you for a dollar.
2:44 for a dollar.

2:56 Flicker and static feel chilled to the
2:59 bone.
