![The Ballad of Jameison Greer: Dont Let the Chips Fall to Beijing
bangers only on chinatalk
lyrics
My name is Jamieson Greer, sir, Im your man on trade Ive read every tariff schedule that this government has made Ive sat across from Brussels, Ive stared down Tokyo But I never been more certain bout a word I have to say: no
[Verse 2] I know you love a deal, sir, and I respect you for it too But theres some things we just cant sell no matter what they offer you Those H200s aint tractors, they aint soybeans, they aint coal Theyre the keys to every kingdom and the engine of control
[Chorus] Dont let the chips fall to Beijing tonight We built em in America, we gotta hold em tight Xi Jinpings on the phone, says hell pay us double-time But some things aint for sale, sir—thats the bottom line
[Verse 3] Jensen Huang keeps calling, says his shareholders are blue But Id rather disappoint NVIDIA than lose this race to you-know-who Theyll train up models faster than a coyote runs from rain Then turn around and use em building drones and wartime gains
[Verse 4] They say its just for research, say its healthcare, say its schools But Ive been doing this long enough to know when Im the fool Every GPU we ship em is a gift we cant take back A thousand smart kids in Shenzhen turning silicon to attack
[Chorus] Dont let the chips fall to Beijing tonight We built em in America, we gotta hold em tight Theyll say its just for data centers, mining bitcoin too But we both know thats a lie, sir—and so do you
[Verse 5] Remember when we had the lead in steel and cars and coal? We let it slip through diplomats who couldnt save their soul They told us trade would change em, said the market sets em free Now theyre buildin carriers, sir, and theyre sailin past Taipei
[Chorus] Dont let the chips fall to Beijing tonight Tell em Jamieson said no, and tell em Greer was right Well sell em pork and timber, well sell em planes that fly But the silicon stays home, sir—til the day I die
[Final Chorus - slower, with pedal steel] Dont let the chips fall to Beijing tonight We built em in America, we gotta hold em tight A hundred billion parameters aint worth a single dime When the flag that flies above em, sir... aint mine The Ballad of Jameison Greer: Dont Let the Chips Fall to Beijing](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/UrojJFYEL1E/mqdefault.jpg)
