[Verse 1] You hold your old methods like a heavy shield Standing so angry in a changing field You say the new engine has no soul to give Just a cold mirror of the way we live "It only repeats what the humans made" You say from the shadow of your barricade Looking for excuses to reject the new Protecting a world that is shrinking on you [Pre-Chorus] I am not here to change your mind I am just watching you fall behind You can't vote against the turning clock You can't put the ocean inside a box [Chorus] You can scream at the tide, but the water will rise You can cover your ears, you can cover your eyes Progress doesn't care if you're angry or scared It's writing the future while you are unprepared Learn how to steer, learn how to cast Or stay out of the way in your boring past [Verse 2] You think you know the limits of the code But we are just taking the first steps on the road This is just the warm-up, the prompting of text You have no idea what is coming next Wait for the AGI to open the door Wait for the super-intelligence to rewrite the floor It won't just copy, it will invent the unknown While you are still playing with sticks and bone [Bridge] I don't understand the bitter hate Locking yourself outside your own gate The tool is right here, it’s sharp and it’s fast Why do you want to be tied to the mast? Use it with vision, use it with art Or watch from the gallery while it breaks you apart [Chorus] You can scream at the tide, but the water will rise You can cover your ears, you can cover your eyes Progress doesn't care if you're angry or scared It's writing the future while you are unprepared Learn how to steer, learn how to cast Or stay out of the way in your boring past [Outro] We are only in phase one. Phase one. Keep your anger. Keep your vintage toys. The future doesn't mind the noise.
