Whoooooaaaaahhh ooooh whoooaaaah oooooooh
[Verse 1]
Woke up tired, checked the feed
Same rich faces, same old greed
Laws get passed in private rooms
While we get blamed for their abuse
[Verse 2]
Told to hustle, told to grind
Told it’s fair when we fall behind
But every raise is just a leash
And every vote just grants the thief
[Chorus]
Shut it down, burn it out
Tear the wires from their mouth
Not your worker, not your pawn
We were here before you're gone
No more deals, no fake peace
This machine was built to squeeze
[Verse 3]
Cameras watch, but never see
The cracks in forced civility
Smile wide, obey the frame
But deep inside, you feel the strain
[Bridge – No Repeats]
Power hides behind polite
Comfort sold as moral right
Peace depends on staying numb
Orders come, but questions don’t
[Final Chorus – Line Evolved]
Shut it down, burn it out
Tear the wires from their mouth
We're not broken, just awake
And this whole thing’s about to break
No more deals, no fake peace
This machine was built to squeeze
[Outro – Normal, No Repeats, True Closer]
The chain is clean, the hands are not
The deal was rigged before it got caught
They built it big, they called it right
But nothing holds when people bite
