All Hail The Chicken

from Oneiric Tulpas by Chris Harris

about

Given that this song involves the novels of Robert Anton Wilson and an artificial intelligence researcher who taught a machine learning program to generate captions for those "love hearts" sweets, any attempt to explain my creative process on this one is going to crash and burn pretty rapidly. Just sit back and enjoy.

lyrics

You found illuminati on the dark net
You want mysterious? Well, this is what you get
Now you're hearing voices in your headset
and seeing extra letters in the alphabet
Anticipating madness at the outset
Communication via ouija board and planchette
Have the drugs you've taken started kicking in yet?
Well, they're about to...

Now that you're enlightened,
Bavaria is always on the line
They've got a chicken in control
And the chicken's doing fine

You can't escape, don't try to change the subject
The chicken's work is always checked, and then it's rechecked
But you're at liberty to see yourself and inspect
an undertaking that is the closest thing to perfect
Now watch this presentation on the project
As you can see, there's nothing there for you to reject
Perhaps you thought this would be weirder than you expect?
Well, you were right to...

You must accept the chicken has become king
To face the future and the benefits that it brings
Can't you see there's going to be an upswing?
Reject the shackles of the past to which you now cling!
So what if we've become the chicken's plaything?
There's plenty time left for us all to have a last fling
Until it realises who is pulling its strings
And it's about to...

Chris Harris Bristol, UK

I'm still trying to get the music I record to sound like the version I can hear in my head. To do this I've ended up playing every instrument I can get my hands on. These days, I'm closer to "That Sound" than I used to be, but the journey continues.
