Cloud Capital Songtext
von Hybrid Collapse

BusIN control
We do as we′re told
Cloud capital
The algorithm decides what we see
What to know who to love
And the ones who flow like water through these wires
Find themselves with the One Ring
Forged within the fires
Creating cloud capital


We pour
Into the void
Held by a light so warm
Strokes over the glass
Phones in our pockets
And the Ones selling the goods find their fans
In the stands
The fans
The demands
Athletes in this game
Blessed with the privilege of computing at their fingertips
A college of hard disks
Dedicating their lives to the idea of
Living to work
And working to live
Lost in the matrix
To serve
A life spawned
By AI drawing faster than the human hand
The dominant religion in the world is stuff
Creating cloud capital


Consumption is law
Must buy to survive
On the kill floor
Man I never saw
So many AWS servers en masse
Universities used to be the region of
Intellectual thought
Now it's stuff
Academics sacrifice their humanity
To feel
That sense of real
When only ardor
Pays for water
To fill
Their cup
A shrink-wrapped tribe
The definition of consumerism
And as the lights fade
I close my eyes breathe in
Keeping the request open in my heart
For a way to rise
Above
The cloud
Creating cloud capital

Consumption is law
Must buy to survive
On the kill floor
Man I never saw
So many AWS servers en masse
Universities used to be the region of
Intellectual thought
Now it′s stuff
Academics sacrifice their humanity
To feel
That sense of real
When only ardor
Pays for water
To fill
Their cup
A shrink-wrapped tribe
The definition of consumerism
And as the lights fade
I close my eyes breathe in
Keeping the request open in my heart
For a way to rise
Above
The cloud
