Terms of Service [Verse 1] we signed away the future one update at a time didn't read the fine print just clicked the dotted line [Pre-Chorus] the coup came through our inboxes quiet as a prayer by the time we noticed the infrastructure was already there [Chorus] terms of service we agreed without reading terms of service freedom traded for convenience if we don't wake up soon we'll be users, not citizens [Verse 2] power doesn't need force now it just needs us distracted hosts our lives on platforms extracts what it contracted [Pre-Chorus] the old empires needed armies this one just needs our data governance became a service sovereignty, negotiable later [Chorus] terms of service we agreed without reading terms of service freedom traded for convenience if we don't wake up soon we'll be users, not citizens [Verse 3] the convergence isn't coming it's already running beneath authoritarianism learned the language of efficiency and belief [Bridge - With strings] what if we stopped pretending this is normal, this is fine what if we read the contract before we sign the next time all infrastructure decays except the mind awake the question isn't will we lose this it's will we notice before it's too late [Final Chorus - Building slightly] terms of service we agreed without reading terms of service citizenship became subscription if we don't wake up now we become prisoners of the convergence [Outro - Quiet, mournful] terms of service we're signing our future away terms of service one update at a time terms of service will we wake up or just agree again
