[Verse 1: upbeat electro-rock, tight rhythm] I posted “KEEP THE SERVERS OUT” From a phone connected to the cloud Shot the clip in crispy 4K Then backed it up three states away I made a Reel, I made a Thread “Data centers must be dead!” Checked the likes, refreshed the feed On racks of servers at hyperspeed [Pre-Chorus: building, playful] I hate the cloud I need the cloud I want it gone But not right now [Chorus: big chant, catchy] **Not in my backyard!** Keep those server farms away But keep my streaming instant And my apps online all day **Not in my backyard!** Yeah, the cloud has gone too far Now upload this protest video To a giant server farm [Verse 2: driving beat, comedic delivery] I searched, “Are data centers bad?” Read twelve articles, got real mad Asked an AI, “Make me a sign” It wrote: **STOP THE CLOUD** in record time I joined the livestream of the fight Cloud-made captions synced just right Checked the map to find the crowd While yelling, “We don’t need the cloud!” [Pre-Chorus: building] No server racks No cooling fans No giant buildings On our land But I need Maps I need Zoom I need every photo From every room [Chorus: bigger, gang vocals] **Not in my backyard!** Keep those server farms away But Netflix better never buffer At the end of every day **Not in my backyard!** No more warehouses of RAM Now save this protest selfie Straight into my Instagram [Breakdown: half-time, call-and-response] **DELETE THE CLOUD!** [Response: spoken] Posted to the cloud. **STOP THE SERVERS!** [Response: spoken] Shared from a server. **NO MORE AI!** [Response: spoken] Generated the sign. [Beat drops out] Hey Siri... Remind me when the protest starts. [Final Chorus: huge, triumphant, ironic] **Not in my backyard!** Put the cloud some other place Just keep my feeds refreshing [Outro: stripped down, deadpan] At a truly stupid pace
