[Intro - Atmospheric] (Haunting synth pad, deep piano note. Distorted clock ticking.) [Verse 1 - Spoken Word/Rap] To be governed means to be watched, inspected, spied on, directed, legislated, regulated, indexed, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, measured, evaluated, censored, commanded... by beings without title, without knowledge, without virtue. [Chorus] This is the contract! The grand illusion! A pyramid of violence built on confusion. Your contribution twisted into chains. A symphony of power playing only pains. [Verse 2 - Building Intensity] To be governed is to be noted, registered, counted, priced, stamped, measured, numbered, patented, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, reformed, redirected, corrected. Under pretext of public utility! In the name of general interest! To be forced to contribute, trained, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted, pressured, mystified, robbed... [Bridge - Beat drops to whisper] And then... at the slightest resistance... the first word of complaint... (Beat returns heavy and distorted) [Verse 3 - Aggressive Staccato Delivery] Repressed! Fined! Despised! Harassed! Hunted! Strangled! Jailed! Shot! Machine-gunned! Judged! Condemned! Deported! Sacrificed! Sold! Betrayed! And to top it all off... Mocked! Ridiculed! Outraged! Dishonored! [Chorus] This is the contract! The grand illusion! A pyramid of violence built on confusion. Your contribution twisted into chains. A symphony of power playing only pains. [Outro - Climactic] Behold the government! Behold its justice! Behold its morality! (Heavy prison door slams shut. Silence.)
