Verse 1
They're Spending Billions Of Dollars In Silicon Valley.
To Make Software That Mimics You And Me.
It Can Write A Whole Essay Thinking That We Don't Know That,
It Used Words That Were Stolen From A Dead Poet.
But The Kid In Class Couldn't Read The First Page,
Of A Book That Was Made In A Different Age.
He's Just Scrolling Through Videos With Ai Songs
While A Robot Wasting Energy Does His Work Wrong.
Verse 2
If You Ask For The Time They Just Reach For Their Phone,
Because Looking At The Screen Is All They Know.
But The Clock Is Wasted Plastic On The Wall,
The Hands On The Clock Make No Sense At All.
They Can't Sound Out A Word Or Copy It Down.
They Just Look At The Letters With A Permanent Frown.
They Can't Even Read The First Page,
When These Kids Should Be Writing Long Paragraphs At This Stage.
Chorus
Their Servers Are Humming And The Math Is Incorrect,
It's Mindlessly Answering Like A Kid During A School Project.
They Are Swapping Out Books For A Scrolling Display,
Dropping Important Skills That Are Fading Away.
The Screen Is Glowing, The Battery Bright,
But The Future Is Losing How To Read And Write.

Verse 3
The Pages Stay Blank,
The Sharpener Doesn't Crank,
A Generation Lost,
Trapped Inside A Screen Space
The Clock On The Wall,
Ticks Without A Friend,
Waiting For A Loop,
That Will Never End.
Chorus
Their Servers Are Humming And The Math Is Incorrect,
It's Mindlessly Answering Like A Kid During A School Project.
They Are Swapping Out Books For A Scrolling Display,
Dropping Important Skills That Are Fading Away.
The Screen Is Glowing, The Battery Bright,
But The Future Is Losing How To Read And Write.
