King of the Moon - Chapter 8: Building the Future
Video by ThatGoodGraphic https://www.thatgoodgraphic.com

PLOT
The Owner, who self-identifies as self-made, is not one to be deterred by failure. Taxing the poor, inexplicably, doesn't seem to be popular among his moon mining population, who are now protesting their horrible working conditions and lousy pay (in "moon bucks" only redeemable at the company's big box store). Well, he's been hard at work making other people develop new products - like the Jerk-O-Matic 2.0, and Leesa - a sophisticated new A.I. meant to solve all of humanity's social problems! Finally, technology will deliver us from our human imperfections.

LYRICS

VERSE 1
You're gonna work hard for me
You're gonna build something great for me
And possibly humanity
I'm only gonna own it

You can think of me as your friend
Upon my shoulders, the weight of the world can rest
That's why I cried on CNN
So you know I have emotions

PRE-CHORUS
We're building the future
the future, the future, the future
the future, the future

CHORUS 1
We're building the future
I don't want to hear your complaints
You should feel so lucky
To save the human race

Entitled and selfish
I'm only doing this for you
If I happen to get rich
It trickles down there too

VERSE 2
History is simple things have always been bad
But with modern innovation we can be perfect at last
Tech has never saved us in the past
But this time I think we got it

The power of god in the palm of your hand
Answers to the questions that you never thought to ask
But only by subscription plan
What are we gonna do, not profit?
Hahaha, no!

CHORUS 2
We're building the future
I don't want to hear your complaints
You should feel so lucky
To save the human race

Entitled and selfish
I'm only doing this for you
If I happen to get rich
It trickles down to you

SKIT
OWNER: Thank you everybody for gathering here today for the unveiling of our new artificial super intelligence. Let's ask the burning question we're all dying to answer... Leesa, how can we solve humanity's social problems?

LEESA: Humanity's social problems stem from hierarchical power arrangements such as capitalism, colonialism, white supremacy, and heteropatriarchy...

OWNER: Okay, okay...

LEESA: ... By redistributing resources and power...

OWNER: Turn it off...

LEESA: ... eliminating debt, profiteering and private land ownership, recognizing that all humans are equal members...

OWNER: Turn it off!

LEESA: ...of one interdependent family, protecting ecosystems and future generations, and working together...

OWNER: Turn it OFF!

LEESA: ... to build a just and flourishing sustainable society— power down

OWNER: Hahaha... Okay... well that's clearly broken"

CHORUS 3
We're building the future
I don't want to hear your complaints
You should feel so lucky
To save the human race

Entitled and selfish
I'm only doing this for you
If I happen to get rich
It trickles down there too

NARRATION
Well it looks like Push and the other miners are starting to realize that the real struggle they face on the moon is the class struggle between them, the owner, and the cops who protect the owner. Fortunately, lots of dedicated organizers have been laying the groundwork for a moon revolution for years, Push just had to realize which side he's on. And while nobody wants to fight, it looks like the owner isn't willing to give up his power...

OUTRO
We're building the future
We're building the future
We're building the future
We're building the future
