The Data Center

Intro They grow nothing here but heat now

Verse 1 They grow nothing here but heat now Where the corn stood there's a concrete brow A windowless cathedral, humming low Cooling someone's cloud in Tokyo Granddad's forty acres, sold and paved The crop we'll never plant, the jobs they never gave

Pre-Chorus No hands needed, just the hum A harvest no one's mouth can come

Chorus The data center Drinks the river, never gives back water Lights don't flicker, no one's there The data center, it don't breathe our air

Verse 2 Twelve good jobs, that's what they swore Came to be two guards and a locked door The fans run loud as a dying thing all night Our wells gone low to keep the servers right Somewhere far a stranger streams a show On the ground where my whole bloodline used to grow

Pre-Chorus No hands needed, just the hum A harvest no one's mouth can come

Chorus The data center Drinks the river, never gives back water Lights don't flicker, no one's there The data center, it don't breathe our air

Bridge Somewhere my grandfather's sweat is stored As ones and zeroes none of us afford We fed the cloud and starved the field below The data center Drinks the river, never gives back water Lights don't flicker, no one's there The data center, it don't breathe our air

Outro Still humming Still humming
