Truth Hurts

An AI music generator collides with a human lyricist, and the result is an intense and stirring song.

What to do with a shoe box full of lyrics, looking for a place to live?
I’ve always wanted to set some of my work to music, but because I have no musical skills, nothing ever came of it.
I’ve been seeing a lot of AI-generated content on social media lately, so this morning I created an account on Suno.com, picked a genre, pasted a poem I wrote years ago (Baby Teeth and Bullets), and clicked Generate.
I wasn’t sure what to expect as I watched the progress wheel on the Suno website spin round and round.
In about 1 minute, Suno set my poem to music in accordance with a genre and other characteristics I selected.
I was amazed at how quickly Suno created the song and, even though I feel a little conflicted (guilty?) about using AI to create art, I was giddy at the result.
Checkout Baby Teeth and Bullets the song and let me know what you think about it and about the ethics of using AI to generate art.
He’s good at treason
And turning it all inside out
He’s good at treason
And taking the easy way out, now
He is a lame skipper
A tariff-driven fool
It took us soooo long to find out
What he’s about
He’s a big teaser
“Let’s make America great”
He’s a truth squeezer
Gets us to tap into hate, now
He is a lame skipper
Putin’s puppet, yeah
It took us soooo long to find out
What he’s about
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Tried to please him
But he only gave us demands
Tried to please him
By always obeying commands, now
He is a lame skipper
A tariff-driven fool
It took us soooo long to find out
What he’s about

Lame skipper, yeah
Lame Skipper, yeah
Lame Skipper, yeah
Lame Skipper, yeah
Lame Skipper
On a staircase of gold
braggadocious and bold
Is where all this nonsense
got started
Make America Great
tapped into our hate
and our union
became the departed
Donny the Goon, was grabbing some poon
(one day he would find he was libel)
Donny had come equipped with a tongue
giving new names to his rivals
His rivals would cringe
at the lunatic fringe
That made up a 3rd of the nation
The country was ill
and so lacking in skill
that they leaned
into hate escalation
When Don and his team
were picking up steam
A virus caused a big slowdown
Donny came in
a grift in a grin
He said, “COVID’s ain’t shit
it’s a hoedown”
The nation got smart
decided to part
And Donny went back to Mar Lago
When Donny got beat
he took to the street
and congress
collapsed in the corner
Since Donny’s come back
he’s been on the attack
Blaming our woes
on the foreigner
With tariffs and threats
to Greenland and vets
America’s dead
and we mourn her
When Donny the Goon
an orange buffoon
sits at the helm of a nation
The nation will rot
at the end of a knot
That’s a lot worse
than inflation
Yeah, yeah
I think we’re gonna be had
I think it’s today, yeah
The guy that’s driving us mad
Ain’t going away
He’s got a Russian to ride
He’s got a Russian to ride
He’s got a Russian to ride
So, he don’t care
He said that tariffs will be
they’re bringing us down, yeah
And we will never be free
when he is around
He’s got a Russian to ride
He’s got a Russian to ride
He’s got a Russian to ride
so, he don’t care
We used to be a nation of laws
The constitution
used to be alright by me
But now we got this guy and his flaws
He wants us living
under an autocracy
I think we’re gonna be had
I think it’s today, yeah
The guy that’s driving us mad
Ain’t going away
He’s got a Russian to ride
He’s got a Russian to ride
He’s got a Russian to ride
so, he don’t care
We used to be a nation of laws
The constitution
used to do alright by me
But now we got this guy and his flaws
He wants us living
under an autocracy
This was the land of the free
’till he came around, yeah
And all the hypocrisy
it’s bringing me down, yeah
He’s got a Russian to ride
He’s got a Russian to ride
He’s got a Russian to ride
so, he don’t care
That Donny don’t care
That Donny don’t care
That Donny don’t care
That Daddy don’t care
That Donny don’t care
Picture a man with some bloat on his liver
with raked yellow hair and marmalade thighs
He steps to the mic and opens his pie-hole
this man with blue pinholes for eyes
White MAGA letters on foreheads and tees
Flow in a sea of blood red
Look for the hope and the sun in the sky
And it’s gone
Donny paints the sky in sorrow
Donny paints the sky in sorrow
Donny paints the sky in sorrow, ahh
Follow him down to a fridge in the basement
Where sweet chocolate sundaes are in full supply
Everyone screams as he gets in the shower
With swastika shampoo and pie
Bullet-proof limos appear on the shore
Waiting to take him away
Climbs in the back and he waves at the crowds
And he’s gone
Donny paints the sky in sorrow
Donny paints the sky in sorrow
Donny paints the sky in sorrow, ahh
For the benefit of Vladimir
A sourpuss that’s insincere, a criminal
JD and Trump will kiss his ass to lend support for his morass
is seminal.
Soldier men and forces, bombs and bosses,
Jumping through a hog’s head of real fire.
with a sneer Vladimir will challenge the world!
Inebriated Vladimir
lays down a beat on Saturday, at Ukraine’s gate.
A Russian Bear will dance and sing
As Rubio bows to a King, a coward’s fate
Mess’rs P. and T. assure the public
their protection will be lesser than none.
and of course, NATO the Horse, dances alone
The bombs begin at ten to six
When Vladimir performs his tricks without a sound
And Mister T. will demonstrate
There’re things he can’t resuscitate from underground
Having stuck the knife with devastation
A bloody time is guaranteed for all
And tonight, Vladimer is having a ball
Sing to the tune of “I Saw Her Standing There” by the Beatles
Well, he is just cruel and mean
in his fake orange sheen
his dictatorship has put us in despair
He demonizes the other, oohh
in his fake-ass golden hair
Deporter in Chief
Felonious thief
a piggish fool, with greed beyond compare
He loves Vlady P like no other, oooh
From his cozy White House lair
Collective hearts go boom with a sense of doom
Autocracy is brewiiing!
People snatched from the street
Every word dipped in deceit
And the courts are trying hard to rein him in
Don will not dance with another
Oh, since he saw Vlad standing there
Collective hearts go boom with a sense of doom
401Ks are crashiiing!
Free speech gets denied
and the US courts defied
while oligarchs get rich beyond compare
Don will not dance with another,
Oh, since he saw Vlad standing there
Read to the tune of Hey Mickey

And wanted to kill Pence
He makes our blood congeal
Behind his border fence
He wants us all to kneel
You are the best defense, Nikki
Oh Nikki, he’s so shitty,
