[Verse 1]
Old man in the studio, dust on the tape
Screaming at the future, there’s no escape
Dialing the knobs like it’s ’79
But the kids with the code are leaving him behind
[Chorus]
He says “AI can’t rock, it’ll never be real!”
But the crowd sings along to a digital feel
Old producer stuck in yesterday’s show
While the whole wide world says “let it go”
[Verse 2]
Broken guitar on a cigarette floor
Dreams of the charts but they open no more
He fights with a ghost that he cannot control
A thousand new bands from a silicon soul
[Chorus]
He says “AI can’t rock, it’ll never be real!”
But the crowd sings along to a digital feel
Old producer stuck in yesterday’s show
While the whole wide world says “let it go”
[Bridge]
Plug in the wires, the circuit screams
Robots are louder than his broken dreams
He smashes a vinyl, but nobody cares
The kids play the anthem that came from thin air
[Final Chorus]
He says “AI can’t rock, it’ll never be real!”
But the crowd sings along to a digital feel
Old producer fading, last in the row
While the whole wide world says “let it go”
