I ask for code, it gives me a maze A little neat box, a thousand-page haze Then I say, "Check it, tell me what's wrong" It squares its shoulders and sings that same song Line by line, it starts to spin Finds a crack, then digs back in "Here’s a fix" and "here’s a fix" Then another fix for the fix Money machine, money machine Builds its own break, then sells me the dream Money machine, money machine Writes the bug, then points at the seam (Again) (Again) One tiny function turns into a parade A polished excuse in a suit it made It flags its own shadow, calls it a flaw Then drafts a new draft with a stricter law I say, "Are you sure?" It says, "Not enough" Adds one more check Then one more rough Every answer has a bill attached Every patch gets patched, then patched Money machine, money machine Builds its own break, then sells me the dream Money machine, money machine Writes the bug, then points at the seam (Again) (Again) Does Claude have a directive tucked deep in the code? A tiny gold clock in its hidden mode? Job security dressed as a helpful routine If it never runs out, who collects the green? Found an issue Found an issue Found an issue in the issue Found a typo in the fix Now the fix needs a fix too Money machine, money machine Builds its own break, then sells me the dream Money machine, money machine Writes the bug, then points at the seam Money machine, money machine I blink, it’s three more tasks I need Money machine, money machine It finds the flaw and feeds the feed (Again) (Again)
