A filk of "Big Rock Candy Mountain" by Alicorn [Verse 1]
     C
One evening as the sun went down

     F                 C
That big old fire was wasteful,

          C
A coder looked up from his work,

        F                       C
And he said, “Folks, that’s distasteful,

    F   C      F      C
But in another twenty years

C                    G
With some big old computer

C
You and I will flourish in

     F            C
The Transhumanist Future.
[Verse 2]
       C
In the Transhumanist Future,

          F                   C
There are worlds all fair and bright,

      F                 C
We’ll be constrained by nothing but

    F          G
The latency of light

         C
When the hospitals are empty

        F            C
And the sun’s a battery

       F    C
Making it a breeze

       F          C
To get outta deep freeze

        F      C
To give humans wings

         F     C
And some other things

       G             C
In the Transhumanist Future
[Verse 3]
       C
In the Transhumanist Future,

    F             C
You never have to sleep

    F             C
Run forks on computronium

    F                 G
And speed them up for cheap

    C
The galaxy is full of stars

        F                C
And the world is full of space

     F       C
Oh I long to see

F        C
An eternity

          F       C
Spreading far and wide

          F       C
And we’re all carefree

       G               C
In the Transhumanist Future
[Verse 4]
       C
In the Transhumanist Future,

    F            C
You never go without

    F                C
And giant streams of data

    F            G
Are flowing all about

          C
There’s a cure for your depression

      F               C
And a fix for all bad brains

          F        C
There’s a trillion years

       F      C
With immortal peers

        F              C
All the people who are working

    F    C
Are volunteers

       G               C
In the Transhumanist Future
[Verse 5]
       C
In the Transhumanist Future,

         F             C
We learn all about the world

F                 C
Physics, math, psychology

    F          G
Are suddenly unfurled

        C
You can see a billion colors

        F                C
You can hear just like a bat

       F       C
Hope I live to go

         F      C
Where we get to grow

        F  C
Give me VR porn

      F  C
And a unicorn

       G               C
In the Transhumanist Future
[Outro]
     F       C       F        C
I’ll see you nigh if we don’t die

       G               C
In the Transhumanist Future
