Tokens of my affection

[Intro - Complex strumming acoustic guitar] [Verse 1] I type a line, I wait for you Syntax whispers, promises new But the spinner spins, the clock it mocks I'm billed a buck for every thought [Pre-Chorus] You say, "I'll help you fix that bug" But stall me out with endless shrug And every word feels bittersweet 'Cause API bills don't come cheap [Chorus] "Oh, you're absolutely right!" you say (ka-ching) But I'm paying for this gaslight every day One more token, one more fight Why's my balance always taking flight? [Break - Acoustic Guitar strumming) [Verse 2] Timeout errors, broken streams I'm chasing code inside my dreams Retry once, then twice, then more Still locked outside the server's door [Pre-Chorus] I beg for help, I plead for grace But throttling slaps me in the face Each "right" reply, a hollow sound Another dollar hits the ground [Chorus] "Oh, you're absolutely right!" you say (cha-ching) But I'm paying for this gaslight every day Claude and Copilot, night to night Can't believe this bill is still so high [Solo - Complex acoustic guitar] [Dueling acoustic guitar solo] [Bridge] You complete me when my code won't run You frustrate me when the joke's no fun I hate you, love you, curse your name But I keep on coming back the same [Breakdown - Chant] Dollar here, a dollar there Every "right" leaves me bare Claude agrees, Copilot stalls Yet I still make the API calls… [Final Chorus] "Oh, you're absolutely right!" you say (cha-ching) But I'm paying for this gaslight every day Code half-finished, patience thin API credits wearing me in [Outro] I'll debug alone, I'll take the fall Waiting for replies that never call Absolutely right, absolutely broke My coding partner's just a joke…
