Techno Feudalism

[Verse 1] Techno feudalism, let me break the chain Not a kingdom of land, but a kingdom of strain Where the apps own the roads and the screens own the door And every tap you give them makes the landlord more Word came from the minds that studied the switch Old feudal power in a silicon pitch From fields to feeds, from lords to the cloud Same hungry few, just a newer crowd You think you click free, but the fee hides deep They sell you the path, then they rent you sleep Every shortcut sweet, every promise slick But the ease got a leash and the leash got a trick [Pre-Chorus] We traded the map For a mouthful of crumbs We traded the key For a thumb on the thumb [Chorus] Techno feudalism Rent the world you live in Techno feudalism Pay to stay forgiven Techno feudalism That’s the name, that’s the game Techno feudalism Different coat, same chain [Verse 2] In 2026, it ain’t theory, it’s now Your work gets ranked while the platform takes a bow Your art gets mined, your route gets steered Your search gets sold by the thing you feared One company makes the room, one company sets the rules One company owns the crowd and the schools One login, one lane, one market mood One terms-of-service tying up your food The future if we cave? Let me paint that frame You wake up inside a personalized game Groceries, news, dates, and your daily grind All filtered through a gate that already made up your mind Your choices look open, but the box is thin The exit is paid, and the lock is in Your neighborhood’s data, your pulse, your taste Turned into a castle that you help to brace [Pre-Chorus] We traded the streets For a velvet pass We traded our names For a pass that lasts [Chorus] Techno feudalism Rent the world you live in Techno feudalism Pay to stay forgiven Techno feudalism That’s the name, that’s the game Techno feudalism Different coat, same chain [Bridge] So keep some commons in your hands Keep some code you understand Keep some doors that you can own Keep some ground that’s truly known Because a future built on easy trust Can turn to dust, can turn to rust And if convenience wears the crown It don’t just lift you up It hands you down [Chorus] Techno feudalism Rent the world you live in Techno feudalism Pay to stay forgiven Techno feudalism That’s the name, that’s the game Techno feudalism Different coat, same chain
