Everybody Loves Me<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Today we experiment with an AI Lyrical Abstraction of
Don McLean’s Everybody Loves Me<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
Fortune has me well in hand

Armies wait at my command

My gold lies in a foreign land

Buried deep beneath the sand<\/em><\/pre>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
The angels guide my every tread

My enemies are sick or dead

But all the victories I've led<\/em>

Haven't brought you to my bed<\/em><\/pre>\n<\/div>
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>
\n
You see, everybody loves me, baby

What's the matter with you?

Won'tcha tell me what did I do

To offend you?<\/em><\/pre>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
Now the purest race I've bred for thee

To live in my democracy

And the highest human pedigree

Awaits the first born boy, baby<\/em><\/pre>\n<\/div>
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>
\n
And my face on every coin engraved

The anarchists are all enslaved

My own flag is forever waved

By the grateful people I have saved<\/em><\/pre>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
Now, no land is beyond my claim

When land is seized in the people's name

By evil men who rob and maim

If war is hell, I'm not to blame<\/em><\/pre>\n<\/div>
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>
\n
Why, you can't blame me I'm heaven's child

I'm the second son of Mary mild

And I'm twice removed from Oscar Wilde

But he didn't mind, why, he just smiled<\/em><\/pre>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
Yes, and the ocean parts when I walk through

And the clouds dissolve and the sky turns blue

I'm held in very great value

By everyone I meet but you<\/em><\/pre>\n<\/div>
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>
\n
'Cause I've used my talents as I could

I've done some bad, I've done some good

I did a whole lot better than they thought I would so

C'mon and treat me like you should<\/em><\/pre>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Because everybody loves me, baby
What's the matter with you?
Tell me what did I do
To offend you?<\/em><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
