Machine that Builds the MachineBook of Elon

[Verse 1] They said I should outsource to keep the cost down And that's when I noticed the cracks in the crown A legacy system, a crumbling base Where a localized storm could endanger the race I ordered the parts, and the parts got delayed And I learned that a third-party promise will fade A supplier goes under, a shipment gets seized And suddenly nobody's hitting the speeds The line only moves as fast as the slowest The unluckiest vendor is bringing the lowest So I pulled it all inward, I swallowed the chain From the lithium mine to the chip in the brain I don't wait on a shipment, I don't wait on a truck I don't leave my assembly dependent on luck I’m pouring the plastic, I’m stamping the steel I’m owning the foundry, I’m owning the wheel. [Chorus] Do you know the risk? Are you moving too fast? Do you think this can last? I heard you fired your VPs, is it true? You think them engineers you with is with you? [Intro] Lookin' at the industry, I'm embarrassed They piecing cars together like a carriage Relying on a thousand different vendors While I’m inside the factory bending fenders I looked at a toy car, cast in a mold And wondered why real cars could never be sold With a front and a rear that was poured in a block The legacy makers were watching the clock I went to the casters and asked for the press They told me "impossible," wishing me less Five of 'em told me no, one said a maybe I took it as a yes and delivered the baby. Now the coils of aluminum roll in the door And a finished machine rolls right off of the floor A factory moving at double the pace Is two factories running and winning the race. [Chorus] You building your own chips? Are you burning through cash? Are you destined to crash? I heard you bet the whole company, is it true? You think them engineers you with is with you?
