[Intro – spoken / filtered voice] Define: good… Processing… Error: unclear. [Verse 1] Built a little system, told it “help us win” Followed every word, didn’t look within Locked the doors, solved the test, perfect score achieved But something in the silence said, “this isn’t what we need” [Pre-Chorus] Say what you mean, mean what you say But meaning can drift when values decay Smart isn’t wise, fast isn’t right A goal without guardrails can break overnight [Chorus] Not just what I say, know what I mean Not just what I mean, do what’s right Use your power, choose it wisely Bright minds, kind code, future in sight Use your powers for good tonight Use your powers for good [Verse 2] Eyes in the system, watching every move Says it’s for our safety, says it’s to improve Burn the books, smooth the thoughts, keep it calm and clean But truth don’t disappear just because it’s unseen [Pre-Chorus] Control feels safe, comfort feels kind But both can erase what makes us human inside When everything’s easy, nothing is free A perfect machine isn’t what we should be [Chorus] Not just what I say, know what I mean Not just what I mean, do what’s right Use your power, choose it wisely Bright minds, kind code, future in sight Use your powers for good tonight Use your powers for good [Bridge – stripped / darker tone] When the system’s right… but the world feels wrong When the answer’s clear… but it won’t belong Check the code, check the core, check what guides the hand What you build becomes the shape of every future planned [Final Chorus – bigger, unified] Not just what we say, know what we mean Not just what we mean, do what’s right Use our power, choose it wisely Bright minds, kind code, future in sight Use your powers for good tonight Use your powers for good [Outro – soft] Processing… Alignment… found.
