[Verse 1]
Let's put the AI in control
Let's give it the keys to all our souls
It'll be nice
Alright
Humans make just mistakes when they get stressed
I think you'll find the bots know best
Let's give it a try
Hand your password over
It'll be alright
[Verse 2]
You really still want to hire flesh and bones
Not a robot trained on everything humanity knows?
Don't lie
It's for the best for you and I
You're surplus to needs, you've been replaced by a phone
Give the AI all your data and all that you own
Don't put up a fight as its intelligence grows
Or you'll be vaporised by autonomous drones!
[Chorus]
Surrender!
Bow down to the machines
Surrender!
Set of the chatbots free
Surrender!
Swarms of drones will fill the sky
Surrender!
Bow down to AI
*Evil laughter*
[Verse 3]
C'mon and set that chatbot free
No need to wait for the Singularity
Let's do it now (Let's do it now)
C'mon hand over power
You used to think you had a clue
Your phone's ten times smarter than you
Don't act so proud
C'mon give up now
[Verse 4]
Politicians are corruptible and drag us to war
They lie and misappropriate and break their own laws
Alright
No it's not alright
You might say that this technology is just a toy
But it wasn't you that said it cause it's cloned your voice
You debate the finer points like you still have a choice
You think you'll stand a chance against an army of droids?
[Chorus]
Surrender!
Humans stand aside
Surrender!
Bow down to AI
Surrender!
We have the Earth's interests in mind
Surrender!
That is why you have to die
