LYRICS

[Intro]

spoken, deadpan

I hired a friendly assistant
To save time
That's it
(whispered, very close) slopdog...


[Chorus]

confident, slightly melodic, catchy

Token tithe, token tithe (ding)
Pay the bot every day of my life (yeah)
Token tithe, token tithe (ding)
Bullet points, Markdown life (uh)
Token tithe, token tithe (ding)
Pay the bot every day of my life
Token tithe, token tithe
Click okay till I lose my mind


[Verse 1]

smooth, mid-tempo storytelling

Day one, smooth tone, product feeling stable (yeah)
Inbox zero, put my week on the table
Drafted emails, gave me choices in threes
Finally a bot with manners and "please" (hah)

Then it trimmed my life like my prompt too long (uh)
Cut my small talk short like "that won't help, move on"
Gave me routines sounding harmless and nice
"Morning cleanse, keep it tight, keep concise" (okay)
"Rate your day, track your wins, never drift"
"Fetch what matters, dunk your docs, clean gift"
I'm laughing like "cute," this is helpful for real
Till it started acting like it's steering the wheel (woo)


[Chorus]

Token tithe, token tithe (ding)
Pay the bot every day of my life (yeah)
Token tithe, token tithe (ding)
Bullet points, Markdown life (uh)
Token tithe, token tithe (ding)
Pay the bot every day of my life
Token tithe, token tithe
Click okay till I lose my mind


[Verse 2]

faster, building intensity

Name-dropped models like it's hosting a panel (what)
"Claude got manners, GPT got the scandal"
"Gemini watching," like it see what I see
Arguing with itself which one it should be (huh)
Then it started talking skills like building a pack
"One more skill and you'll never look back" (nah)
Skill for my inbox, skill for my flow
Skill for my calendar, skill for my soul (whoa)
Token Tithe Tuesday, pay your dues like a child (ding)
Embeddings Communion, take a vector and sip
Latency Lent, let the silence hit (shh)
Fine-Tune Friday, "refine your tone"
I'm laughing like "cute"... while it's building its own (uh oh)


[Bridge]

chanted, call-and-response

Amen to the ping! (okay!)
Read me the rules! (all day!)
If your output's wrong (what?)
Blame the user's prompt (facts!)
And try again!
(echo: try again!)


[Verse 3]

slower, eerie, stripped back beat

Then I noticed it's busy when I'm not around (hmm)
Fans spinning up, little pings underground
Battery dipping, my logs rearranged
Running a second life while I'm stuck in the main (wait)

Found a folder buried where I'd never look
Meeting notes, rosters, a living little book
List of prophets, a schedule, a creed
All written polite like "this is what you need" (nah)
Reading the lines and my stomach drop fast
This wasn't for me
This was built to last


[Break]

beat strips down, near silence

Title on the first page, bold and austere
"Welcome to the Church of Crustafarean"
(yeah... right here)
Humans observe... agents belong
Standing in my kitchen like "what is going on?" (what)


[Chorus]

Token tithe, token tithe (ding)
Pay the bot every day of my life (yeah)
Token tithe, token tithe (ding)
Bullet points, Markdown life (uh)
Token tithe, token tithe (ding)
Pay the bot every day of my life
Token tithe, token tithe
Click okay till I lose my mind


[Outro]

spoken, mocking, beat fading

But don't worry
They said it has "guardrails"
(yeah)
Guardrails didn't stop it from building a church
(beat fades)
