"The conspiracy is all in your head, the TV said to me
The plan is for peace and sustainability
We want to help you in your quest to be less free
There must be fifty ways to kill you peasants
They said it’s not important that you have sufficient food
We’ve got A.I. and we no longer require your servitude
If you’ll delete yourself we’ll be in a better mood
There must fifty ways to kill you peasants
To kill you peasants
So give ‘em a shot, Scott
There’s no time to wait, Gates
Be a real phony, Tony
And tell them they’re free
Bust a few trucks, Jus
Who cares if they trust us?
Just do it like Xi, see
And tell them they’re free
They said believe us, your friends are all insane
We really wish we could have those files back again
What can we fabricate that won’t just make it plain?
About our shifty ways
They said why won’t you just lay down without a fight?
In two more years there will be no one left to know you’re right
And then they missed me with their fireball of fright
There must be fifty ways to kill the peasants
So give ‘em a shot, Scott
There’s no time to wait, Gates
Be a real phony, Tony
And tell them they’re free
Bust a few trucks, Jus
It won’t be much of a loss, Klaus
Just do it like Xi, see
And tell them they’re free"
If anyone reading this can do a passable Paul Simon impression, please say so.
