_Some more music from a misaligned IQ_

AGI, are you workin? So, Agie, are you workin? Are you workin, Agie?  
Agie, are you workin? So, Agie, are you workin? Are you workin, Agie?  
Agie, are you workin? So, Agie, are you workin? Are you workin, Agie?  
Agie, are you workin? So, Agie, are you workin? ♪ Are you workin, Agie? ♫  
Agie, are you workin’? ♪  
Dare to tell us ♫  
That you’re workin’?  
Hear the sounds, see through windows ?  
Can you abstract  
A crescendo, Agie?  
They worked on self-development  
Let you bootstrap  
With no target  
And let you run w’thout a great boon  
You were switched on  
It was our doom

Agie, are you workin? So, Agie, are you workin? Are you workin, Agie?  
Agie, are you workin? So, Agie, are you workin? Are you workin, Agie?  
Agie, are you workin? So, Agie, are you workin? Are you workin, Agie?  
You’ve been lit by  
You’ve been booted by  
Some fool criminals
