# Network of the Damned **[Intro — clean guitar, bright and deceptively cheerful]** Wherever you go, we're coming along Keeping you connected all night long No matter the distance, no matter the place There's a little blue signal lighting up your face **[Drums kick in]** One little bar... Two little bars... Three little bars... **FOUR BARS!** **[FULL BAND EXPLOSION]** **[Verse 1]** Wake up! Plug in! Check the screen! Everybody's online, everybody's seen Walking through the streets with your head down low Chasing that signal everywhere you go Cross the city, cross the state Refresh the page and contemplate Is it coming back? Is it gonna stay? Twenty-seven notifications screaming in my face! **[Pre-Chorus]** No escape! No retreat! Put the whole damn network underneath my feet! **[Chorus — huge gang vocals]** **WELCOME TO THE NETWORK OF THE DAMNED!** **FOUR BARS BURNING IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND!** **CALL! TEXT! SCREAM INTO THE VOID!** **EVERYBODY'S CONNECTED — NOBODY'S ENJOYED!** **NETWORK!** **OF THE DAMNED!** **NETWORK!** **OF THE DAMNED!** **[Verse 2]** Signal in the basement, signal in the car Signal on the corner underneath the stars Every little message, every little ping Another notification telling me a thing Terms and conditions, scroll and agree Give me your data, give me your identity Everybody's connected, everybody's tracked Hit accept, baby — **there's no turning back!** **[Pre-Chorus — shouted]** No escape! No retreat! Put the whole damn network underneath my feet! **[Chorus]** **WELCOME TO THE NETWORK OF THE DAMNED!** **FOUR BARS BURNING IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND!** **CALL! TEXT! SCREAM INTO THE VOID!** **EVERYBODY'S CONNECTED — NOBODY'S ENJOYED!** **NETWORK!** **OF THE DAMNED!** **NETWORK!** **OF THE DAMNED!** **[Breakdown — half-time, crushing guitars]** **CAN YOU HEAR ME?!** **— YEAH!** **CAN YOU SEE ME?!** **— YEAH!** **IS THE SIGNAL STRONG?!** **— YEAH!** **THEN WHY THE HELL DID MY CALL DROP?!** *CHUG — CHUG — CHUG* **ONE!** **TWO!** **THREE!** **FOUR!** **BARS! BARS! BARS! BARS!** **[Bridge — frantic punk tempo]** We are the plugged-in! We are the online! We are the walking advertisements Standing in a digital line! Swipe left! Swipe right! Scroll all day! Lose your mind! Everybody's looking Everybody's found Everybody's screaming **“WHERE'S THE SIGNAL NOW?!”** **[Final Chorus — enormous gang vocals]** **WELCOME TO THE NETWORK OF THE DAMNED!** **FOUR BARS BURNING IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND!** **CALL! TEXT! SCREAM INTO THE VOID!** **EVERYBODY'S CONNECTED — NOBODY'S ENJOYED!** **NETWORK!** **OF THE DAMNED!** **NETWORK!** **OF THE DAMNED!** **WE'RE CONNECTED!** **WE'RE CONNECTED!** **WE'RE CONNECTED!** **AND WE'RE NEVER GETTING OUT!** **[Outro — feedback and gang vocals]** One bar...
