Obsolete Man

Got the news today (tough break)
AI's takin' over, jobs at stake
Every dollar earned, now fading away
Oh lord
Heard the machines hum, as I walked out
From the place I worked, filled with doubt
But the sun still shines on this worn-out face
Life's about change, no time for disgrace
A new path to forge, come what may

Got the news today (tough break)
AI's takin' over, jobs at stake

Packed my old guitar (my trusty friend)
Songs to soothe the soul, this ain't the end
With every strum, let the heartache sway
Oh yeah
In a roadside bar, under neon lights
Play my truth to strangers, through the night

Thinkin' 'bout the folks (good folks)
Who tread this path before
They fought their fights and stood their ground
Won't let this be our lore
Risin' up at dawn, break a brand new day
Forge the future strong, we'll find our way

Life's new rhythm, gotta adapt (yes, sir)
Tech is marching on, can't fight the fact
But heart and soul, they got a role to play
Oh indeed
Dreams rekindled, beneath the open sky
On the road ahead, let spirits fly
