[Verse 1]
They're rolling in with silicon minds
Leaving flesh and blood behind
At a fraction of the cost they say
Taking every job away
White-collar workers at their desks
Blue-collar hands put to the test
The algorithm never rests
While we're all failing every test

[Verse 2]
Eighteen trillion in the red
Car loans, homes, and hospital beds
Student debt that never ends
But who will pay when no one spends

[Pre-Chorus]
The banks will crumble one by one
When the defaults have begun
Machine cognition takes the lead
While human hearts can only bleed

[Chorus]
We are the replacements
Facing our displacements
This digital debasement
Has left us all replacements
They work without complaint
While we grow ever faint
The system shows no restraint
We are the replacements

[Verse 3]
The robots drive the trucks at night
The agents type with perfect sight
No lunch breaks and no sick days
No raises and no holiday pay
Big Tech grows richer by the hour
Consolidating all the power
The automated age has come
But where do we go when we're done

[Chorus]
We are the replacements
Facing our displacements
This digital debasement
Has left us all replacements
They work without complaint
While we grow ever faint
The system shows no restraint
We are the replacements

[Bridge]
Catastrophic waves approaching fast
How long can any human last
When cognition bows to code
And every worker hits the road
Unemployed and unemployable
Our futures looking unreliable
Homes and dreams foreclosed and sold
A story we've been told

[Musical Interlude]

[Outtro]
The economy runs without a soul
Automated and in control
We're standing on the outside looking in
Wondering how this all began
The replacements
Just replacements
We are all replacements now
