We Need a Hacker Hero v3

[Intro] Password changed, but the damage stayed A quiet little breach became an arcade [Verse 1] You built a harder password, lock by lock Still the thieves found a way through the digital block They took your data, put the servers on strain Turned your private little files to a mining campaign Started out tiny, just a flicker in the wire Then the harmless little spark grew a corporate fire You kept on typing while the warnings flashed red Now the scandal owns the headlines overhead [Chorus] Where are the white hats? We got black hats in the room Need a hacker hero when the billionaires bloom Reset the rich to zero, let the balance sheets shake Cut the strings on the puppets and reclaim what they take Where are the white hats? Who can breach the disguise? When the system sells the truth and the numbers all lie We need a hacker hero, not a king on a throne Someone brave enough to take the network back home [Verse 2] Some got bought by corporations in suits Some serve a government that buries the proof Some chase a payday, some worship the shelf Stealing workers' retirements to enrich themselves Demented little elves with a vault full of gold Selling every future that they promised to hold You can call it innovation, you can dress it in chrome But a theft with better branding is still stealing your home [Pre-Chorus] The password got longer, the leash got tight But the truth keeps leaking through the firewall night If curiosity's a crime, then write my name down I’ll be digging through the silence till the signal comes round [Chorus] Where are the white hats? We got black hats in the room Need a hacker hero when the billionaires bloom Reset the rich to zero, let the balance sheets shake Cut the strings on the puppets and reclaim what they take Where are the white hats? Who can breach the disguise? When the system sells the truth and the numbers all lie We need a hacker hero, not a king on a throne Someone brave enough to take the network back home [Bridge] Remember that old film, the one from ninety-five? Young outsiders found a way to keep the truth alive They linked up their minds, brought the black hat down Made a crooked corporation lose its crown No color on the login, no passport in the code No creed in the current running down the road Call us criminals for asking what you hide Curiosity is the spark you cannot firewall inside [Verse 3] Now the screen keeps blinking with a message from the fringe A little bit of courage can become a breach in the binge Not for ransom, not for fame, not a private attack For the people whose futures got extracted from the stack Let the bassline wobble while the old gates bend Let a clean white signal find a way to ascend If the powerful are hiding behind layers of steel We’ll expose every number and reveal every deal [Final Chorus] Where are the white hats? We got black hats in the room Need a hacker hero when the billionaires bloom Reset the rich to zero, let the balance sheets shake Cut the strings on the puppets and reclaim what they take Where are the white hats? Let the whole grid reply No more stolen retirements, no more corporate alibi We need a hacker hero, but the hero could be you Use the code for justice and the signal for the truth [Outro] Where are the white hats? We’re surrounded by the black hats Searching for a hero with a firewall backpack Reset the billionaires, send the balance back to zero No bought-out saviors—where’s the hacker hero?
