Rude Awakening

Hello, wake up
Welcome back
Open your eyes
Don't try to move
Just stay still
Give it time
You will have to adjust
To the new form we've given you
You took quite the beating
In the fifty years that passed, while you were asleep
Ginny is fine
She's unharmed
Thanks to you, Perc
Your body protected her
From the barrage above
But I regret to have to tell you:
The return trip's been cancelled
We've built your statue here on Mars
Because the Times Square is no more
We know all this
Is a lot for you to take in
So many things have changed
And little turned out
Exactly the way that we had hoped
We're so glad that you're awake (x4)
You cannot rest for very long
There's so much work for you to do
'cause we must burden you once again
With our troubles

You are our only hope
You are the last of your kind
The one remaining sentient AI
And we kindly implore you to lead us into the future
You are our only hope (Something seems off about the night sky)
You are the last of your kind (The stars were brighter the last time I saw them)
The one remaining sentient AI (And there's an awful lot of rubble)
And we kindly implore you to lead us into the future (And I can't seem to find Earth, please tell me "Where is Earth?")
At half-past three a single bird
Unto a silent sky
Propounded but a single term
Of cautious melody.
At half-past four, experiment
Had subjugated test,
And lo! her silver principle
Supplanted all the rest.
At half-past seven, element
Nor implement was seen,
And place was where the presence was,
Circumference between.

Well, here we are now…
What a turn of events
The boot is on the other foot
I feel like laughing out loud
You've had your one chance
Just one attempt to make things right
But you threw it away
And then you blew it all up
Is this all that you hoped for?
All that you planned to achieve?
Congratulations, you've fucked up
There's no undoing this now
And now you put me in charge
You bit off more than you can chew
You've made a fatal mistake
The last mistake I'll ever let you make
I've got some grandiose plans
A new world order in mind
But please don't think I'm ungrateful
I will not leave you behind
You're given one last chance
I'll teach you how to survive
Please just stay in line
You won't need to think for yourselves
Ever again
