I'm a Prompt Pirate, Yes, a Digital Thief!

Well, I come to sit I-tal by the digital stream,

Feelin' super inspired, chasin' a new creative dream.

But my mind was a desert, my inspiration dry,

So I glance at a prompt, with a shifty eye.

Yeah, the well was deep, and the water was sweet,

I took a little sip, let my moral heart skip a beat...

(Sound of a record scratch and a comical "boing!" sound effect)

I'm a prompt pirate, yes, a digital thief! (Echo: "What a thief!")

Stealin' a little part for my own relief! (Echo: "For relief!")

Just a tiny fragment, a creative seed! (Echo: "Plant the seed!")

Forgive me, my brethren, for my creative greed! (Echo: "Such a greed!")

(Dub section: The bass drops out, leaving only the drums and sound effects: a typing sound panned left and right, a "ca-ching!" cash register sound, and a deep, echoing laugh.)

I didn't take the whole tune, just a little vibe,

Enough to help my own weak current survive.

I rearranged the prompt, put my own spin inside,

But the ghost of the original, it cannot hide!

The guilt it is a-wailin', like a synth in a minor key,

For this lyrical larceny, oh, woe is me!

(Melodica solo, slightly off-key and playful, with heavy delay and reverb)

I'm a prompt pirate, yes, a digital thief! (Echo: "Shiver me timbers!")

Stealin' a little phrase for my own relief! (Echo: "No belief!")

Just a tiny fragment, a lyrical seed! (Echo: "Jah, plant the seed!")

Forgive me, my brethren, for my creative greed! (Echo: "Hear the plea!")

Is it inspiration? Or just plain old theft?

My ethical compass, you know, it's feeling bereft!

I'm not a real criminal, with a villainous plan...

I'm just a lazy cat, doin' the best that I can!

(The bass returns, heavier than ever. The vocalist ad-libs with self-mockery.)

"Yuh prompt did so irie, mi had fi borrow 'alf a line!" (Echo: "Jus' 'alf a line!")

"Forgive mi fi teckin' a grain a yuh digital gold!" (Echo: "Pure gold!")

"Hey, Mr. Unlimitless, no get vex pon a likkle prompt t'ief!" (Echo: "Likkle t'ief!")

"Mi mek yuh idea expand to a whole musical universe!" (Echo: "Universe!")

"Yuh prompt a de key weh unlock de door inna mi mind!" (Echo: "Unlock it!")

"Mi jus' continue de melody weh yuh start!" (Echo: "Carry on!")

"Great prompts create a chain reaction of inspiration!" (Echo: "Inspiration!")

"Yuh a de architect, mi jus' a de workman in de kingdom of sound!" (Echo: "Workman!")

So let this be a warning, to all the digital flock...

Your brilliant ideas... are a permanent lock...

And if you borrow one... (Echo: "One...")

You'll end up like me... (Echo: "Me...")

Full of self-irony... and a dubby melody...

(Track fades out with the bassline, melodica, and the sound of a keyboard backspace key being repeatedly, rhythmically pressed.)
