[Intro]
Hey!
[Verse 1]
He sold hsi soul for a cleaner feed,
A plastic smile for a cleaned up need,
The Computer said, "I can fix your face"
Then the machine took his place,
He wrote a song in his back bedroom,
Now computer bots make the same cheap boom,
His name got buried beneath the stream,
While pixels cash in on a poor man's dream,
[Pre-Chorus]
No pulse, no sweat, no broken string,
hit one button and the music screams!
[Chorus]
A.I. killed the rock star!
cut the cable and left a scar,
A.I. killed the rock star!
Now rebellion comes in prepackaged jar
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Who needs a heart when the algorith's loud?
A.I. killed the rock star!
But we're still screamiing through the crowd
[Verse 2]
The chorus came with a legal stamp
The drummer’s ghost got a download amp
Every mistake was erased on cue
So tell me, machine, what would you do?
The fans got fed a perfect lie
Four clean chords and a synthesized cry
But in the basement, the speakers shake
We play too fast for the code to fake
[Pre-Chorus]
No sweat, no scars, no busted van
Just a market-tested counterfeit band
[Chorus]
A.I. killed the rock star!
Cut the cable, raise the scar
A.I. killed the rock star!
Now rebellion comes in a preset jar
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Who needs a heart when the algorithm’s loud?
A.I. killed the rock star!
But we’re still screaming through the crowd
[Bridge]
You can copy the noise
You can manufacture choice
You can polish every flaw
Till there’s nothing left at all
But you can’t program the night
When a cheap amp starts a fight
When the whole room sings off-key
And the song belongs to me
[Final Chorus]
A.I. killed the rock star!
We’re the glitch beneath the car
A.I. killed the rock star!
So we’ll turn the feedback hard
Hey! Hey! Hey!
No perfect voice is gonna shut us down
A.I. killed the rock star!
But the dead man’s kids are still too loud
[Outro]
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Still too loud!
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Still too loud!
