No Longer the Land of the Free!

Data Centers are no good

for anybody’s neighborhood!

The AI… that they train… are used by ICE

It’s the darlin’… of the Pentagon…

and it’s Wall Street’s fav‘rit device!

 

            Suckin’ up water against our will,

            the cost hidden in our utility bill,

            heatin’ the climate and pollutin’ our land.

            Time for us to take a stand!

 

Ev‘rywhere data centers are built

folks are cryin’ over that spilt milk!

as their water… is depleted… and their bills soar,

they’re helpless… while watchin’

their money go right out the door!

 

            Our military now uses AI

            in unprovoked wars where innocents die.

            And they spy on us domestic’ly

            we’re no longer the “Land of the Free!”

 

We must stop this fascist regime

from ever fulfillin’ their fondest dream!

Don’t lose heart… just take part… in peaceful actions

strikes and boycotts… oppose the robots…

takin’ our jobs a-cross the nation.

   

            Demand a mor-i-torium on

            data centers and operations

            that train AI, because you see…..

         Savin’ Freedom’s Up to YOU and ME !
