lyrics

I thought I heard
a knife-wrestling scream.
I thought I heard
something quite obscene.

What is happening
over there?
What is happening
should I be aware?

Why did I hear that
knife-wrestling scream?

I thought you might be wrestling with someone
that held a knife to your throat.
I did not expect, no, not that scene,
that I saw when I came to your room.

You were wrestling
and you were screaming.
That we both know.
But what were you wrestling
that's got me
quite, quite scared.

For that knife had arms and legs!
An A.I. knife, you see!

And that knife you wrestled,
and why you were screaming,
why that, we all see.
It was a knife-wrestling scream.

The knives are trying to kill us.
A knife-wrestling scream.
They just want to slice
our meat you know.

All our delicious meat!
Why did we give them
artificial intelligence?
That's beyond me.

And will we survive?
Or will we all die?
I can't think about this right now,
so I, I will scream.

Mr. Beany's Bitty Band

We're a one-person band fronted by a human who self-describes as a mad artist. We invented the "crapcapella" genre, and remain a proponent, though we now support the term "folk acapella" as well. We love improvised music as well as sheet music.
