AI is a time machine. The song that follows here I wrote in 1987 with Robin Rose and Todd Merrill. They were my
0:08
roommates in East Harlem in New York City. And we had a really I had a really crappy MP3 of a fourtrack recording of
0:16
this song and I just spent about I don't know 15 or 20 minutes creating 25 versions of it in Suno. And this is the
0:23
song we wrote. I added some verses and some rearranging of the lyrics, but holy crap. AI is a time machine. It's amazing. [Music]

[Music] to kill you for a dollar. Desperate for an end. [Music]
1:22
to this monotony. This monotony. [Music] You look like a warm one. Your future all said. Let me lick your pockets. I'll

in this waste, they multiply and feed upon their young. And here they flock, they strain, they push
2:12
to be much more than they can be. Eyes like sharks that lack
2:28
the life to look upon their destiny. To kill you for a dollar.
2:44
for a dollar. [Music] Flicker and static feel chilled to the

bone.
