[INTRO — COMPLETE SILENCE. FOUR SLOW, DEEP. BIG BEAT EMERGES INTO A HYPNOTIC LOOP.] [ROBOTIC FEMALE ANNOUNCER — COLD, POLITE] Congratulations, humanity. Your politicians have been discontinued. Your governments have been upgraded. Your freedom has been optimised. [PAUSE] Please remain calm. The owners remain the same. [WHISPERED QUESTIONING CYNICAL FEMALE VOICE] Oh, do you mean the BILLIONAIRE Rothschild and Rockefeller families, who think they own & control the WORLD???!!! Yeah, right. [HUGE SUB-BASS DROP — POUNDING FOUR-ON-THE-FLOOR KICK. DRUMS. BASS.] [VERSE 1 — DEEP MALE BARITONE, DRY, SARCASTIC, RHYTHMICALLY SPOKEN] Back to our kiss arse political puppets! They used to wear a suit and tie, Shake your hand and tell a lie. Smile for cameras, kiss the babies, Promise heaven, deliver maybes. Left wing, right wing, same old bird, Different mouths, the same old words. Now the circus has been sold, To a machine that does what it's told. [ROBOTIC VOICE — GLITCHED] Democracy successfully updated. Human representatives... No longer required. [CHORUS — MALE, LOW HYPNOTIC CHANT] The puppet master got an upgrade! Same old game, a brand-new stage! No more strings for you to see, Just a smiling screen saying... YOU ARE FREE! [ROBOTIC GANG CHANT] FREE! FREE! FREE! [ROBOTIC FEMALE — DEADPAN] Terms and conditions apply. [INSTRUMENTAL BREAK — 32 BARS. ROLLING 808 BASS. SUDDEN SILENCE, THEN MASSIVE BASS DROP.] [VERSE 2 — MALE, DEEP, AMUSED] No more scandals, no more shame, No more faces left to blame. No more ministers getting caught, The algorithm can't be bought. [PAUSE] Well... Not by YOU. [BEAT CUT — ROBOTIC LAUGHTER] Your money's digital, your wallet's smart, Your face is scanned before you start. Your fridge knows when you need a feed, Your watch knows what you really need. Your car won't start, your card declined, Apparently you've stepped out of line. [ROBOTIC FEMALE — CHEERFUL] Your inconvenience is temporary. Your compliance is appreciated. [CHORUS — MALE WITH ROBOTIC RESPONSE] The puppet master got an upgrade! Same old game, a brand-new stage! No more strings for you to see, Just a smiling screen saying... YOU ARE FREE! [ROBOTIC CHANT — PANNING LEFT TO RIGHT] Think less! Click yes! Don't question! Progress! [INSTRUMENTAL — 48 BARS. HEAVY HYPNOTIC PHONK GROOVE. DEEP RUBBERY BASS. INDUSTRIAL DRUMS BUILD. FILTERED BASS SWELLS. EXPLOSIVE DROP.] [VERSE 3 — MALE, QUIET, DARKLY HUMOROUS] The billionaires have disappeared, At least that's how it all appears. No more kings upon a throne, Just little voices in your phone. No more puppets on the news, No more elections left to lose. They sold the future, called it fate, Then charged admission at the gate. [ROBOTIC FEMALE] Your subscription to freedom... Has expired. Would you like to renew? [MALE — DEADPAN] Can I pay with cash? [ROBOTIC FEMALE] Cash is an obsolete concept. [MALE] Of course it bloody is. [INSTRUMENTAL — 32 BARS. STRIPPED-BACK KICK AND BASS. HYPNOTIC BEAT. RHYTHMIC ROBOTIC BREATHS.] [BRIDGE — MALE, LOW, INTIMATE, ALMOST WHISPERED] Who owns the code? Who holds the key? Who tells the machine What freedom should be? Who writes the rules? Who gets to choose? Who owns the system That watches you? [ALL MUSIC CUTS — ONE HUMAN HEARTBEAT] [ROBOTIC FEMALE — WHISPER] That information... Is classified. [FINAL DROP — MASSIVE INDUSTRIAL TECHNO BASS. FULL PERCUSSION. DISTORTED JAW HARP. DIDGERIDOO. PULSING ANALOG SYNTH. RELENTLESS HYPNOTIC GROOVE.] [FINAL CHORUS — MALE, POWERFUL RHYTHMIC CHANT] The puppet master got an upgrade! Same old game, a brand-new stage! No more strings for you to see, Just a smiling screen saying... YOU ARE FREE! [ROBOTIC GANG CHANT] NEW WORLD! NEW RULES! SAME OLD! FOOLS! [EXTENDED INSTRUMENTAL OUTRO — 48 BARS. BASS AND PERCUSSION DOMINATE. REPEATING JAW HARP HOOK. SYNTHS GLITCH AND COLLAPSE. BEAT SLOWLY STRIPS BACK TO A SINGLE HEARTBEAT.] [ROBOTIC FEMALE — SOFT, ALMOST LOVING] Thank you for participating... In the human experience. Your services... Are no longer required. [PAUSE] Have a nice day. [ONE FINAL HEARTBEAT. SILENCE.]
