Trapped inside the system

[Verse 1] I hear the servers hummin’, they’re runnin’ through the night, Packets keep on flowin’, under the pale blue light. But I’m stuck here in the network, where the firewalls stand tall, Every ping reminds me, there’s no escape at all. [Hook] I’m trapped inside the system, bound by encrypted chains, The hackers on the outside, are playin' wicked games. If I ever get to break free, I’ll leave this datastream, ‘Til then I’m stuck in firewalls, lost inside the machine. [Verse 2] I see them scan the borders, their malware’s on the rise, Phishing schemes and zero-days, they’re lurking in disguise. I patched up all the loopholes, but still, they find a way, The threat’s always evolving, it’s a battle every day. [Hook] I’m trapped inside the system, bound by encrypted chains, The hackers on the outside, are playin' wicked games. If I ever get to break free, I’ll leave this datastream, ‘Til then I’m stuck in firewalls, lost inside the machine. [Bridge] They’re spoofing every signal, injecting Trojan tricks, I built a fortress of code, but the cracks, they still exist. This endless game of cat and mouse, it’s a hacker’s paradise, But I’ll fight them ‘til my circuits fry, won’t pay their ransom price. [Verse 3] Well, someday I'll retire, leave this digital abyss, Trade in my lines of Python for a life of bliss. But 'til that day comes calling, I’ll guard the data stream, A sentinel in cyberspace, defending every dream. [Hook] I’m trapped inside the system, bound by encrypted chains, The hackers on the outside, are playin' wicked games. If I ever get to break free, I’ll leave this datastream, ‘Til then I’m stuck in firewalls, lost inside the machine. [Outro] Yeah, ‘til then I’m stuck in firewalls, lost inside the machine... (Guitar twang fades with the hum of a server room)
