(Intro: A huge, distorted, wah-heavy guitar riff hits a syncopated, aggressive groove. Timmy C's bass line is loud and driving. Drums lock into a fast, militaristic beat. The energy is explosive.) (Verse 1: The Blueprint) (N.C.)Yo, let's trace the lines back to the source of the rot, The system's a serpent, yeah, built on what it bought. The poverty line ain't a safety net, it's the perpetual tax, They control the information, they control the facts. They feed us the poison through the speaker and the screen, While they siphon off the energy, keepin' the planet lean. Look at the schools, look at the jobs, look at the silence, They programmed the apathy to replace the righteous violence. You think the struggle is random? Nah, it's by design, They keep the worker broken while the wealthy refine the gold. (Pre-Chorus) (Am)I see the cameras watching, (Em)I hear the lies they tell, (C)But the fire in my lungs (D)is gonna break the spell! (Chorus) (Music hits a massive, downtuned, aggressive breakdown riff. Vocals are a harsh, shouted roar.) (E5)FIGHT! WE AIN'T SERVANTS TO THE ALGORITHM! (C5)FIGHT! AGAINST THE LIES THEY TAUGHT US IN THEIR RHYTHM! (G5)WE WILL NOT COMPLY! (D5)THE CONTROL MUST FALL! (E5)RIPPING DOWN THE WALLS! (C5)HEARING THE REVOLT'S CALL! (G5)THEIR SYSTEM IS BROKEN! (D5)TEAR THE FOUNDATION DOWN! (Verse 2: The Resistance) (N.C.)They sold you the vote, man, they sold you the fake choice, A distraction from the power of your collective voice. They divide the crowd by color, by creed, by the small piece, Anything to stop the unity, anything to stop the peace. But the truth is transmitted on a frequency they can't touch, You gotta unplug the fear, gotta demand too much! The revolution ain't televised, the revolution's in the street, In the hands of the hungry, in the noise of the fast feet. They fear the knowledge, they fear the connection, 'Cause when we stand as one, they lose their whole deflection. (Guitar Solo / Jam: The Uprising) (Tom Morello-style—The guitar uses heavy wah, whammy bar effects, and dissonant, turntable-like scratching sounds. The bass and drums lock into a heavy, powerful funk groove underneath the sonic chaos.) (Chorus) (Music returns with explosive power.) (E5)FIGHT! WE AIN'T SERVANTS TO THE ALGORITHM! (C5)FIGHT! AGAINST THE LIES THEY TAUGHT US IN THEIR RHYTHM! (G5)WE WILL NOT COMPLY! (D5)THE CONTROL MUST FALL! (E5)RIPPING DOWN THE WALLS! (C5)HEARING THE REVOLT'S CALL! (G5)THEIR SYSTEM IS BROKEN! (D5)TEAR THE FOUNDATION DOWN! (Outro) (The rhythm slows to a crushing, half-time march. The vocalist chants/raps the final lines with intense conviction.) (N.C.)Know your power! Break the routine! (N.C.)Unplug the system! Smash the machine! (The band hits a final, jarring, sustained chord with a cacophony of feedback and bass distortion, ending abruptly.)
