[Verse 1]
They stamp our names on plastic cards
Burn our faces into screens
Turn our homes to open yards
Call it “safe,” but it’s obscene
They sell our secrets by the pound
Smile clean, pockets black
Shake our hands in your hometown
Then stab you in the back
[Chorus]
We don’t wanna be tracked, we wanna see ‘em stand trial
Wanna drag those liars out, aisle by aisle
No more kings in disguise signing off on our files
We don’t wanna be watched, we wanna watch ‘em for a while
Hey, hey, get your hands off me
I’m not your number, not your property
Hey, hey, you can’t shut this down
We want names, we want faces, we want them on the ground (right now)
[Verse 2]
They write laws in secret rooms
Ink them in our stolen blood
Point their guns at living wounds
Then wash their hands in the flood
They blame fear for every chain
Blame “the threat” for every act
But they built this poisoned plane
Now we’re coming for the facts
[Chorus]
We don’t wanna be tracked, we wanna see ‘em stand trial
Wanna drag those liars out, aisle by aisle
No more kings in disguise signing off on our files
We don’t wanna be watched, we wanna watch ‘em for a while
Hey, hey, get your hands off me
I’m not your number, not your property
Hey, hey, you can’t shut this down
We want names, we want faces, we want them on the ground (right now)
[Bridge]
You sign, we bleed
You hide, we read
You lie, we lead
You fall, we’re freed (we’re freed)
[Chorus]
We don’t wanna be tracked, we wanna see ‘em stand trial
Wanna drag those liars out, aisle by aisle
No more kings in disguise signing off on our files
We don’t wanna be watched, we wanna watch ‘em for a while
Hey, hey, get your hands off me
I’m not your number, not your property
Hey, hey, you can’t shut this down
We want names, we want faces, we want them on the ground (right now)
[Break]
