[Start with an electric guitar solo and the joined by drums] [Verse 1] Step 1 Train the people just to crave and scroll Step 2 Flood the grown folks’ minds with control Step 3 Catch the kids in the classroom glow In the headphones In their hands Where the colors all flow Step 4 Draw a chalk line Right and left Step 5 Paint the skin Stack the debt Step 6 Build a wall Rich and poor in a row Say “believe" say “be equal” watch the wedge blade grow [Pre-Chorus] Step 7 Write a story out of smoke and dust Step 8 Every night Make the cameras rush Step 9 Light the match and watch them clash Watch them crash Feed the feud till it’s all just ash [Electric guitar solo] [Chorus] Turn it off Pull the wire from the wall (hey) Look around the room Hear your own name call Step back Feel the quiet in your chest If you don’t play the game They can’t rig the test Hold a hand that you were taught to fear Ask one real question when the script feels weird Shut the spin Let the silence win If we don’t press “start” They can’t ever begin [Bridge] They counting on us never asking “who wrote this?” They counting on us keeping every eye on the cold glitz But if one voice says “wait” then another says “why?” The steps fall apart And the stairs run dry [Chorus] Turn it off Pull the wire from the wall Look around the room Hear your own name call Step back Feel the quiet in your chest (oh) If you don’t play the game They can’t rig the test Hold a hand that you were taught to fear Ask one real question when the script feels weird Shut the spin Let the silence win If we don’t press “start" They can’t ever begin [Outro]
