A parody of Money for Nothin. Lyrics by Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits. Chorus co-authored by Sting.

Mark Knopfler Singing His Powerful, Predictive Lyrics on YouTube AI for Nothing [Verse 1] Oh, that's the way to do it, No need to be workin', Makin' money with free AI. That's the way to do it now, Sit back and stream TV. Maybe get a sore back sittin', Maybe get eye strain, too. No more carpal tunnel syndrome, Typin' too much for you. [Chorus] We gotta make more microchips, We gotta build more data centers, We gotta make more robots/droids, Gotta make more self-flying cars. [Verse 2] See that little best-selling author? The one still in high school? Little weasel got his own flying car, With AI doing it, he's a billionaire. See that Pulitzer Prize winning poet? He didn't even lift a pen or type a key. That's the way you do it now, Tell AI to do it for you, then wait and see. [Interlude] Yeah, watch the money roll in for free (techno music) [Chorus] We gotta make more microchips, We gotta build more data centers, We gotta make more robots/droids, Gotta make more self-flying cars. [Verse 3] Gotta get me one a them fem androids, No more menopause bitching for me. Do my bidding without any complaint, That's the way I want to see. She can make the money on AI for me, No more worries, as far as I can see. She's worth the money, way up front. No better way to get it easy and free. [Interlude] Yeah, she can do it for ya, huh, No chicks for me. (techno music) [Chorus] We gotta make more microchips, We gotta build more data centers, We gotta make more robots/droids, Gotta make more self-flying cars. Just look at all them lazy dudes, Just livin' easy like taking ‘ludes. Rakin' in the money like no regret, Chicks doin' same sans those rudes. Floating in space fat and sassy, A pill for that to make you classy. Money from AI to make you free, Isn't that what heaven supposed to be? We gotta make more microchips, We gotta build more data centers, We gotta make more robots/droids, Gotta make more self-flying cars. Gotta make more chips. make true r life-like AI. Gotta make more fly, make more creamy pie. Gotta make more droids. make more hot flash cash. Gotta get to Mars just to see, What's in it for me, hah? (techno music) Copyright 2025 © Ronald W.

You do have what it takes to write lyrics, If you play an instrument, it's time to put some chords in there. Thank you for sharing Ron.

You have a flare for song lyrics, Ron, and good for that because art in song, art in word, peeling back constraints and deletions. You are splashing your creativity in revelatory awareness of our �sitation,� � good for you! ~~ djl

Ha! Expresses the modern mindset perfectly, Ron. But I'm with the last reviewer, the digging for the right word, excavating, deleting, saving, going back to the last one, giving up and coming back to it, is what I love - and also hate - about writing!

RON; I GET YOUR DRIFT, BUT WHAT CAN I SAY? AT 81, I STILL LOVE THE OLD WAY. FIGHT FOR THE WORDS, CHISEL AND THEN...GO AFTER IS AGAIN. MAKE IT YOUR OWN, NOT AN AI LOAN. BECAUSE DEEP DOWN INSIDE, A GIFT DOES RESIDE. THERE'S BEAUTY IN TRYING, AND REACHING AND PRYING. ALL MY ACCOLADES GOES TO GOD, NOT AN APP...AND FOR ME, THIS IS THE BOTTOM LINE 'FACT'. THANKS FOR POSTING, MY FRIEND. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

Says it all! Good balance and rhythm. Yes, "Money for Nothing" Your words sing it well.

Reviewed by John Herlihy

Reminiscent of Dire Straits' iconic "Money for Nothing:, reimagined for the age of artificial intelligence. The poem is cheeky, provocative and seemingly deliberately exaggerated, poking fun at the fantasy of effortless wealth and potential happiness. This one's special.
