The Coming AI Coup

Democracy is dangling, In the coming AI coup.

[Verse 1]
They built a god out of silicon,
Gave it eyes that never sleep.
Taught it how to mimic voices,
And how to lie, and how to creep.
Now it's whisperin’ in the wires,
Writin’ stories that ain't true —
The truth is dying slowly
In the coming AI coup.

[Verse 2]
Once we had a ballot box,
Now it's just a game of smoke.
Deepfakes in the living room,
Your grandma’s feed’s gone broke.
They’re training bots to sway your vote,
And hide what’s real from view —
Democracy is dangling
In the coming AI coup.

[Chorus]
🎶 Oh say can you see, or are your eyes deceived?
The screen says trust the system, but who programs what you believe?
When the code obeys the tyrant, and the facts are false and few,
We won’t march into freedom — we’ll be marched by the machine through and through.
That’s the playbook, that’s the blueprint…
Of the coming AI coup. 🎶

[Verse 3]
They say it’s just technology,
But it's soaked in power and greed.
It doesn’t vote, it doesn’t bleed —
It just watches what you read.
Sheriffs training algorithms
To know what you might do —
Predict your guilt and silence you
In the coming AI coup.

[Bridge]
It's Goebbels with a circuit board,
It's Orwell with a feed,
It's freedom on a feedback loop
To serve the fascists' need.
While we debate our ethics,
The strongmen storm right through —
With bots in place of soldiers
In the coming AI coup.

[Chorus]
🎶 Oh say can you see, or are your thoughts their prey?
They sell you sweet salvation, while they strip your rights away.
It ain’t just science fiction — it’s the next red-white-and-blue…
Wrapped around the iron fist of a coming AI coup. 🎶

[Verse 4]
So write your congress, light the torches,
Fight for truth and shine it bright.
Code can serve the common good
Or kill it overnight.
The time for sleep is over,
We’ve seen what code can do —
Let’s rise before we’re ruled
By the coming AI coup.

[Outro - Spoken or Sung Softly]
Democracy ain’t guaranteed.
And freedom ain't a given.
It’s not just who's in office now…
It's who programs what we’re livin’.
