Okay, here's our latest parody, by request.

Fifty Ways to Kill You Peasants

"The conspiracy is all in your head, the TV said to me

The plan is for peace and sustainability

We want to help you in your quest to be less free

There must be fifty ways to kill you peasants

They said it’s not important that you have sufficient food

We’ve got A.I. and we no longer require your servitude

If you’ll delete yourself we’ll be in a better mood

There must fifty ways to kill you peasants

To kill you peasants

So give ‘em a shot, Scott

There’s no time to wait, Gates

Be a real phony, Tony

And tell them they’re free

Bust a few trucks, Jus

Who cares if they trust us?

Just do it like Xi, see

And tell them they’re free

They said believe us, your friends are all insane

We really wish we could have those files back again

What can we fabricate that won’t just make it plain?

About our shifty ways

They said why won’t you just lay down without a fight?

In two more years there will be no one left to know you’re right

And then they missed me with their fireball of fright

There must be fifty ways to kill the peasants

So give ‘em a shot, Scott

There’s no time to wait, Gates

Be a real phony, Tony

And tell them they’re free

Bust a few trucks, Jus

It won’t be much of a loss, Klaus

Just do it like Xi, see

And tell them they’re free"

Great spoof. For those who are not Boomers, the original song is Paul Simon (maybe & Garfunkel?) "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" from mid-1970s.

Thanks. You may enjoy our earlier take on "Stayin' Alive". We're not boomers, but we're culture buffs and love that era.

That was awesome. Make a music video and see it explode! That will tell you that people relate.
