Smart-City Dome

CUSTOM

[INTRO: lurching rhythm, digital tape-loop edit emulation, vintage synth bass, hologram guitar slide left-to-right] [VOCALS: panning wildly, unstable vocal tuning, passing between dry close-up and cavernous virtual reverb]
Algorithmic eye
Over the smart-city dome
Predictive policy
No one is allowed to roam
With all our clones
Still sharing feeds
Data streaming out
Of every node in me [INTERLUDE: mechanical drum beat, distorted acoustic guitar with digital jitter]
Corporate control
How did it start?
Thousands of glitches
Purged from the chart
Corporate control
Can't opt out
Scab of a network
Screaming in doubt [UPBEAT SECTION: fast staccato, synthetic tambourine]
Don't log off
Time to say goodbye
System crash: offline
The algorithm deletes a glitch! [SPOKEN: machine-restored robotic filter, whispers overhead]
Tomorrow I get to train another neural network... and the day after that... also at the same time I get to patch the system, which is as broken as the original code. [SPOKEN: dry, bitcrushed, low-panned]
Hi, consumers, I'm the designated organic asset of this sector. [VERSE 2: lurching tempo, failing holographic synth arpeggio]
Algorithmic eye
Over the smart-city dome
Predictive policy
No one is allowed to roam
With all our clones
Still sharing feeds
Data streaming out
Of every node in me [CHORUS: distorted synth brass, glitch edits]
Corporate control
They monitor my space
Drag a few anomalies
Out of the database
Corporate control
Terminal locked
Smash every rebel
Till their feed is blocked [CODA: sudden silence, digital clipping, echo fade-out]
Don't log off
Time to say goodbye
System crash: offline
The algorithm deletes a glitch!
