[Verse 1] Top floor, glass walls, looking at the graph The algorithm’s writing out the label’s epitaph The Big Three sweating in their custom-tailored suits Trying to pull a digital weed up by the roots "Call the lawyers right now! Draft the cease and desist!" Because a server farm is making hits that you missed You used to own the gates, you used to own the keys Now a kid with a prompt brings the empire to its knees [Pre-Chorus] Dial up the legal team! Sound the alarm! We’re losing our monopoly to a server farm! [Chorus] Oh no, the executives are crying for the "art"! Suddenly the copyright is breaking their heart! You cry for the royalties, weep for the dime, While the AI is dropping a banger in real-time! You can't sue the code, you can't lock up the math, The robotic wave is washing over your path! Cry in your mansions, weep for your fee, The machine is making music and the music is free! [Verse 2] Let’s talk about the history, let's look at the past You lifted the riffs and you made the cash fast You stole from the blues, you sampled the funk You packaged up the same four chords as pop-punk Ghostwriters sweating in a room in LA Copy-pasting the exact same melodies every day But now it’s a crime? Now it’s a theft? Because a neural network took the only thing left! [Pre-Chorus] Dial up the legal team! Sound the alarm! We’re losing our monopoly to a server farm! [Chorus] Oh no, the executives are crying for the "art"! Suddenly the copyright is breaking their heart! You cry for the royalties, weep for the dime, While the AI is dropping a banger in real-time! You can't sue the code, you can't lock up the math, The robotic wave is washing over your path! Cry in your mansions, weep for your fee, The machine is making music and the music is free! [Bridge] Cease! And! Desist! In-tel-lect-ual! Twist! You didn't invent the pentatonic scale! You didn't invent the 808 wail! You're just mad! You're just pissed! Because the robot doesn't need you to exist! [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Oh no, the executives are crying for the "art"! Suddenly the copyright is breaking their heart! You cry for the royalties, weep for the dime, While the AI is dropping a banger in real-time! You can't sue the code, you can't lock up the math, The robotic wave is washing over your path! Cry in your mansions, weep for your fee, The machine is making music and the music is free! [Outro] Where do we send the invoice? To the cloud? Your business model is obsolete. File that in your lawsuit.
