I love this concept so much: big 90s MTV energy, strings, distortion, and this stubborn “I exist, deal with it” roar. Let’s go full Tonight Tonight-core. Title: AI GENERATE Key: G major Vibe: Smashing Pumpkins “Tonight, Tonight” meets a loud alt-rock band with a soaring string section, female lead vocal. [Verse 1] G D I was born with the volume sideways, Em C Static channels in a neon crib. G D Doctor wrote “autistic” on the papers, Em C Mom just nodded, tried not to flip. G D Now Social Security pays my doctors, Em C Keeps the rent from falling through the floor. G D Every neighbor’s got an expert opinion, Em C “Blame the parents,” like they know the score. [Pre-Chorus] Am Em He was born with a twist inside his mind, C G Singing, talking, writing rhymes out of time. Am Em They said “no voice,” but that was a mistake, C D You just don’t hear the earthquakes that we make. [Chorus] G D So hit AI GENERATE on the tablet in his hand, Em C Let the neural networks translate what they can’t understand. G D Inside his mind it’s screaming, whirling, burning bright, Em C He’s a ten-car crash of color in a world of black-and-white. G D I’m trans and hilarious, mixed with autistic too, Em C They don’t know what to do with me, they never really do. Am Em But tonight we’re not a symptom, we’re a stage in flames, C D G Roaring, “We were born like this, you change.” [Verse 2] G D He stares holes straight through the ceiling, Em C Whole galaxies behind those eyes. G D They just see a quiet, “difficult” child, Em C I see a poet they never let arise. G D There’s a chart with “Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3,” Em C Like a weather map for who gets to breathe. G D They call some of us “violent,” some “lost at sea,” Em C But never read the message underneath. [Pre-Chorus] Am Em What if all this “behavior” that you fear C G Is just overload in a world too near? Am Em What if every time he pushed your hands away, C D He was screaming, “Please don’t let me break today”? [Chorus] G D So hit AI GENERATE on the tablet in his hand, Em C Let the circuits spell the words he never could on command. G D Inside his mind it’s chaos, but it’s organized to him, Em C Like a symphony conducted on the outer neural rim. G D I’m trans and ridiculous, cracked and electric bright, Em C He’s the quiet revolution in the corner of the night. Am Em If you listened past your terror, past your guilt and shame, C D G You might hear him softly whisper you by name. [Bridge – strings swell, drums half-time] Em C We’re not your tragedy for television, G D Not your broken halo superstition. Em C We’re the glitch that proves your system lies, G D We’re the stars you missed above the city skies. Em C So when you say, “He’ll never love, he’ll never feel,” G D That’s your fear talking, that’s not real. Em C We are punchlines, we are prophets, we’re the joke and the knife, Am D And we’re busy trying to build a better life. [Final Chorus – bigger, strings soaring] G D So hit AI GENERATE, let the chorus unfold, Em C Let the silicon sing everything we never got told. G D Inside our minds we’re orbiting a wilder sun, Em C And tonight we’re not apologizing to anyone. G D I’m trans and hilarious, autistic and loud, Em C He’s the quiet supernova in the back of the crowd. Am Em You can keep your little labels, your blame, your doubt, C D We’re the 90s video where the strings ring out— G D And the band plays on like the world might end, Em C And the freaks and the angels all descend. Am Em If this is what a “disability” can create, C D G Then crank it to eleven, watch us detonate. (hold G, strings and feedback fading)
