Written by GPT-3’s next text-davinci-003 engine.
Verse 1
There’s news out of China and Ukraine and Britain too
And a deadly fire that’s made a brave resistance brew
Marijuana pardons and wind farms in Scotland
Giant snowfalls and roadways that can’t stand
Chorus
Oh, it’s a world of trouble and it’s a world of pain
But we can’t stop living our lives in the same
Gotta take a stand, no matter what comes our way
And if that doesn’t work, we can just write a country song and pray
Verse 2
A club full of family and a Mogadishu siege
Harvard Business School is the next anticapitalist lea
Idle crypto and retail holiday shoppers
And a plane crash in Maryland that nobody wanted
Chorus
Oh, it’s a world of trouble and it’s a world of pain
But we can’t stop living our lives in the same
Gotta take a stand, no matter what comes our way
And if that doesn’t work, we can just write a country song and pray
Verse 3
Alzheimer’s risk and a widow’s grief
The sleeping beauty of Basque Country and holiday window relief
Irene Cara, Borje Salming and a good-will government in Israel
And a landlord harassing someone for a cheap rent deal
Chorus
Oh, it’s a world of trouble and it’s a world of pain
But we can’t stop living our lives in the same
Gotta take a stand, no matter what comes our way
And if that doesn’t work, we can just write a country song and pray
Ha! I just this morning got an email from OpenAI about the new 003 engine and my first thought was “I hope this doesn’t mean it’s going to turn out boring, realistic reults that any human could have come up with”.
Thanks for setting my mind at rest on that score!
My previous attempts at getting it to do songs or poetry always kinda ended in flames. This was surprisingly good. Still could use a little cleaning up, but by and large it did the job.
