Paperclip Maximizer from UTOPIA NOW! by Rosie Tucker

Paperclip maximizer
Single minded if you mind at all
A paragon of puritanical panoptical persistence
Everybody envies your resolve

Paperclip maximizer
Mining for a better way
No ontological contention
Tends your content generation
Every sorrow makes a link in the chain

And baby when you come to
You’ll find that everything you love has
Been consumed
None the wiser

Scrying glass visualizer
If I could miss you then I would betray
The double meaning of refrain
The envy spreading like a stain
My divination given to dismay

And baby when you come to
You’ll find that everything you love has been consumed
You’re the winner, understood
Doing well by doing good

Paperclip maximizer

And the shareholders meet gruesome ends
But the cosmos expands
So the market survives
All the better to bear all your office supplies
And the space they require was once occupied
By the sun
On you hair
And the curve
Of your thighs
Horizon of sighs
Destroyer of worlds
