lyrics

(instrumental)

Wrote nine thousand words on consent in machine learning
Got an A minus, the minus was for "insufficient nuance"
Submitted it at 4am between two entirely different jobs
(different jobs)
Nuance. He wanted nuance. From me. That week.

I could have written the nuanced version (the nuanced version)
But it would have been about me, and he wasn't ready

Ethics paper
(ethics paper)
Everyone theorising what I do on Tuesdays
Ethics paper
I'm not the case study, I'm the primary source

The whole seminar debated whether people can really choose
Eleven students, none of whom have ever made a choice
That cost them anything, and I sat there, and I smiled
(and I smiled)
And I got an A minus. For insufficient nuance.

One day I'll write the real one.
Footnotes. Data. Everything.
Not for the grade. For the record.
(BUILD, DROP)
