They promised us the moon, a future bright and grand

Now all I see are circuits, across this weary land

The gears are always grindin', the screens are always lit

My neighbor, old MacDonald, well, he just up and quit

[Chorus] Oh, the silicon blues, they got me in their sway Every job I ever knew, just faded clean away From dawn till dusty evening, no human hand in sight Just blinking, buzzing robots, stealing all our light

[Verse 2] Used to be a handshake, a friendly, knowing nod Now it's just an algorithm, overseen by some cold god They say they're more efficient, never take a break or nap But what about the spirit, caught in this digital trap?

[Chorus] Oh, the silicon blues, they got me in their sway Every job I ever knew, just faded clean away From dawn till dusty evening, no human hand in sight Just blinking, buzzing robots, stealing all our light

[Bridge] They're sucking up the water, in this Texas heat and dust And all that precious power, just to feed their endless lust For data and for processing, a never-ending quest Leaving human hearts and minds, with nothing but unrest

[Chorus] Oh, the silicon blues, they got me in their sway Every job I ever knew, just faded clean away From dawn till dusty evening, no human hand in sight Just blinking, buzzing robots, stealing all our light
