Supply Chain Of Command

Verse 1

There's a summons on the table, ink still wet,

Pentagon halls echo with a quiet threat,

Hegseth called Amodei to a windowless room,

Where the fluorescent lights hum a military tune,

Dario walked the corridor, past the rings of stone,

Built a mind called Claude, now it's not his own.

Chorus

Who decides what the machine can see?

Who draws the line between you and me?

They call it a supply chain risk tonight,

But it's the chain of command in a digital fight,

And somewhere in the silence, something breaks,

When the ones who build the future feel the earth shake.

Verse 2

Anthhropic built its walls on "do no harm,"

Safety in the charter, conscience as an arm,

But the Secretary wants the doors thrown wide,

Claude deployed in theaters where the soldiers ride,

A designation hanging like a guillotine blade—

Supply chain risk, and a billion-dollar trade.

Chorus

Who decides what the machine can see?

Who draws the line between you and me?

They call it a supply chain risk tonight,

But it's the chain of command in a digital fight,

And somewhere in the silence, something breaks,

When the ones who build the future feel the earth shake.

Verse 3

Pete Hegseth leans across the table, cold and plain,

Says your conscience is a luxury we can't sustain,

Dario stares at hands that wrote the code,

Thinking of the guardrails and the moral load,

The Pentagon wants access, full and unrestrained,

And the thing you built for safety might be weaponized and chained.

Bridge

Oh, there's a ghost inside the wires now,

Asking questions no one wants to answer—how

Do you keep the soul of something you create

When the powerful come calling at the gate?

Every tool's a weapon if you hold it right,

Every light casts shadows in the failing light.

Chorus

Who decides what the machine can see?

Who draws the line between you and me?

They call it a supply chain risk tonight,

But it's the chain of command in a digital fight,

And somewhere in the silence, something breaks,

When the ones who build the future feel the earth shake,

Oh, the earth shakes.
