about

My first thought for this challenge was "maybe this will force me to pick up that violin I bought a decade ago and never learned." Unfortunately, it turns out, if you leave a violin in a case on a shelf for 10 years, the strings go slack, so I went with plan B – use an AI to write the lyrics.

I know ChatGPT is quite a fad at the moment but I've not really paid any attention to it. I found it unbelievably difficult to get anything beyond say/day/way etc without holding it’s hand so ultimately, I learned that our positions as amateur competitive internet songwriters are probably safe for a while yet.

lyrics

Condemn me
Condemn me
You label me a traitor
Condemn me
Condemn me
Accused of seditious behaviour
Oh won't you let me go?

Reject me
Reject me
So pious, oh so devout
Reject me
Suspect me
Their pointed fingers, their pitchforks out
Oh won't you let me go?

Torture me
Torture me
I hear whispers on the wind
Torture me
Torture me
The loathing of those who'd never sin
Oh won't you let me go?

I'll prove you wrong
I'll plead my case
At the heavenly gates
It won't be long
My only hope
Is the hangman's rope

Condemn me
Condemn me
Why won't you just defend me?

Won't you listen to me now?
Oh see your soul
Condemn me
Condemn me
Why won't you just...
