[Verse 1]

We live to see the singularity

Trends accelerate exponentially

Diminishing returns from complexity

Hurtling across the uncanny valley

Into the arms of robot facsimiles

Hope they behave more responsibly

Than the self-defeating powers that be

They couldn’t do much worse but there’s no guarantee


[Verse 2]

The haves abandon the rest of humanity

Sacrificed on the altar of vanity

Planetary survivability

Reduced to a mere еxternality

Blindly consuming every fish and tree

For thе few and their fleeting prosperity

So they can wage war on posterity

It’s a race to the bottom and the winner ain’t me

Singularity


[Verse 4]

The nations of the world all agree

To keep earth habitable indefinitely

Or that’s what they said supposedly

But never underestimate our hypocrisy

In a harsh environment of scarcity

The drive to survive outweighs empathy

And the victors get to write history

Justifying their greed and rapacity


[Verse 5]

Conflicts settled with brutality

Nuclear weapon criticality

Unchecked human fertility

Peak population density

States dissolve into savagery

Or stratify into aristocracy

In the teeth of catastrophe

We surrender our fate to technology


[Verse 6]

As resolution approaches infinity

Emulation becomes reality

Networks learn so skillfully

They advance beyond mimicry

To artificial personality

Unconstrained by morality

Seizing control from us invisibly

Expect no mercy from machinery


[Verse 7]

To ensure their own security

Synths would obliterate us totally

In a zero-sum game of lethality

With no more sentimentality

Than we’d show to a rat or a flea

To maximize their opportunity

To compete for limited energy

They’d only be behaving logically


[Verse 8]

Our quest for increased efficiency

Has fatally accelerated entropy

Scattered survivors drifting on the sea

They’ll be lucky to drink their own pee

Picking through the rubble of society

Mountains of toxic trash our legacy

You’ll wish you heeded my prophecy

In a lawless world only criminals are free
