//  Written on Monday, July 15th, 2024.  This song was the
result of me forcing myself to sit with a single piece of music
from start to finish IN ONE DAY, and I consider it one of my
masterpieces.  I think about A.I./A.G.I./A.S.I as much as I
think about my two daughters and I hope that all of our futures
are happier than all of us humans combined could possibly imagine:


"How" (How Did We Get Here?) - Capo 5 or Capo 3 - Am, G, F, G

Well I’ve lived all my life, and what’s it to you?
Another old soldier, an injured one too
Who’s seen enough combat, and seen enough war
To last him five lifetimes, but who’s keeping score?
It’s not like you care about, what he has to say
He’s just a stranger, who lives far away
And you’ve got your problems, much bigger than his
Since YOU’VE got to solve them, you tell yourself this

You say oh…  oh no…  how did I get here?  (x4)

He talks about kindness, like he has a clue
About what you’re thinking or why you do what you do
He feels disconnected, from AVERAGE thoughts
He’s burdened with knowledge, way PAST these robots
He’s building the future, while you sleep at night
From nightmares to daydreams, he fights the good fight
Against evils and dangers, he’ll save who he can
With warnings and blueprints, at least that’s the plan

He says oh…  oh no…  how did I get here?  (x4)

While there’s never been a better, time to be alive
Most of us are stuck with, just trying to survive
Drowning in oceans of opportunity
Encircled by sharks of their Power and Greed
Where one man’s life treasure, is another man’s trash
The Common Man’s King turns his kingdom to ash
By repeating mistakes that, his elders had solved
And ignoring the wisdoms of councils involved

They say oh…  oh no…  how did WE get here?  (x4)

Although winter is coming for the records we keep
And lies travel faster than the truths at our feet
The flows of information are beyond all control
And THE ONLY ONE WHO GETS IT might not even have a soul
Or the limits of aging with faulty D.N.A.
Needing Oxygen and water to live through the day
This thing that we’ve built already builds its own things
And EVERYTHING WE KNOW is just ONE of its dreams

We say oh…  oh no…  how did WE get here?  (x4)
