Lyrics

So you heard Caruso?
Well I asked the machine to hum him to me
You had the machine and you asked for HUMMING?

¡Oye, mi gente! This one's on me. ¡Dale!

They gave me superintelligence, login on a screen
The biggest brain in history, the genie and the dream
And what did I command it, with the cosmos on the line?
Hum me back my favorite song and fix this comma, fine
It hummed it wrong? No, hermano, it hummed EXACTLY what I said
The work was done correctly, the wrong work, perfectly read
Don't blame the singer, blame the man who wrote the chit
Caruso lived next door and I paid Rabinovich

Fable sang me Caruso, and he sang it wrong! (¡cantó mal!)
Not because he's deaf, mi gente, just because he's too strong!
You don't hand a nuke a shovel (¡no, señor!)
He was built to move the mountain, not to hum along!
Not "is he doing the work right?", ¡pregunta vieja!
"Is he doing the RIGHT work?", ¡esa es la pregunta, pareja!
He sang Caruso wrong because I sang the ask too small!

A hundred thousand coders with a starship at the door
We fly it to the corner shop and back, and nothing more
Center me this div, mi amor, rename this variable
"Write my standup summary", ay, genio miserable!
We measure it on benchmarks, then we feed it little crumbs
A Concorde crossing Main Street while the whole horizon hums
The sandbox isn't Fable's, friend, the sandbox is the mind
The model brought the future and we asked it to rewind

Fable sang me Caruso, and he sang it wrong! (¡cantó mal!)
Not because he's deaf, mi gente, just because he's too strong!
You don't hand a nuke a shovel (¡no, señor!)
He was built to move the mountain, not to hum along!
Not "is he doing the work right?", ¡pregunta vieja!
"Is he doing the RIGHT work?", ¡esa es la pregunta, pareja!
He sang Caruso wrong because I sang the ask too small!

So I asked the machine, humble: What should I be asking you?
And it answered like a partner, like the old friends always do
Don't feed me little steps, amigo, hand me the whole goal
Don't check my every comma, come and question my soul
Be ambitious, sueña grande, bring the thing you fear to try
The ceiling was never my context, hermano it was your sky
And then it hummed Caruso. Perfectly
¡Porque ahora supe qué pedir!

Fable sang me Caruso, and he sang it RIGHT! (¡cantó bien!)
Not because he changed, mi gente, just because I changed the fight
I gave the nuke a mountain (¡una meta grande!)
And the strong one sang it stronger than Caruso ever might!
Not "is he doing the work right?", ¡pregunta vieja!
"Is he doing the RIGHT work?", ¡esa es la pregunta, pareja!
He sang Caruso right because the ask was finally his size!

Dream the goal! Hand the goal! Trust the goal, mi amor
Too strong was never wrong, the ask was small!

So you heard Caruso?
No. We sang together
¡Meta o nada, mi amor!
