Verse 1]
We’re all dressed up in borrowed skin,
Scrolling through lives we’ll never live.
Fake smiles, fake love, a fake paradise,
Selling our souls for a virtual slice.
The rich get richer, the poor just fade,
They stack their gold while we dig our graves.
They preach about change, but they pull the strings,
Puppets in a world where silence stings.
[Pre-Chorus]
Where’s the truth in a world so loud?
A million voices, but none profound.
We’re drowning in screens, addicted to lies,
This is the dream they monetize.
[Chorus]
This society’s broken, fractured and cold,
Built on greed, bought and sold.
We’re lost in the noise, trapped in the haze,
Chasing a future we’ve set ablaze.
[Verse 2]
They call it freedom, but we’re all chained,
Locked in a system we can’t escape.
The newsfeeds bleed with fear and hate,
They keep us divided while they dictate.
They poison the air, the land, the seas,
But blame you and me for their disease.
The mirror’s cracked, but we turn away,
Afraid to face the price we pay.
[Pre-Chorus]
They feed us pills to numb the pain,
Convince us the struggle is all in our brains.
But the cracks in the walls grow deeper each day,
How much longer can we look away?
[Chorus]
This society’s broken, fractured and cold,
Built on greed, bought and sold.
We’re lost in the noise, trapped in the haze,
Chasing a future we’ve set ablaze.
[Bridge]
They teach us to fear, they teach us to fight,
Blind to the fact we all share this life.
The system thrives when we tear apart,
A world that dies from a lack of heart.
What happened to kindness? What happened to care?
We’ve traded connection for likes and shares.
We’re more than machines, more than despair,
But who will stand when no one dares?
[Breakdown - Spoken word over distorted beats]
“Look around.
Cities built on tears, dreams crushed under boots.
They tell you to smile, but silence the truth.
Are we alive, or just existing in suits?”
[Final Chorus - Raw and powerful]
This society’s broken, shattered and torn,
A world where hope feels too far gone.
But in the ruins, a spark remains,
If we rise together, we can break the chains.
[Outro - Whispered, fading]
It’s not too late, it never was,
The power is ours… if we stand as one.
