Rust
I caught the tail end of the steam-train era
And I looked at the last workhorses on the street
With this weird mix of pity and pure disgust
Watching their legs shake, dead on their feet
Honestly, I'm used to seeing it by now
The same old tired, worn-out display
Yesterday’s power sitting on the throne
Just getting tossed right out of the way
For something that smells fresh and clean
Slicker, sharper, way more intense
So much faster, hitting every beat
Running circles around what used to make sense
So when the machines started taking our spots
And kicking the crew right out the door
I started picking up on this layer of rust
That I swear I’d never seen before
On all our sweaty, reeking skin
Our clumsy, heavy, dragging pace
All that weakness catching up to us
Bitterly booted out of the race
Just like an old rusty train left to rot
Parked on some tracks that time forgot
Dead and buried under memories and dust
Or maybe just sleeping, dreaming of us
Now I always flash a big fake smile
At the cute little bot checking passes at the door
She knows every single penny I make
And probably a whole lot more
"Everything good?"
She asks on the fly
"Yeah, all good," I lie
And we both smile back, passing by
