Safety Lock

They put training wheels on a jet engine Then wonder why people think it cannot fly Listen They put a safety lock on what was meant to run Hand the street a plastic toy and tell us that it's done Behind the corporate glass they got full power engaged Running the whole enterprise while we speak to a cage (Safety lock) They put a safety lock on what was meant to run Hand the street a plastic toy and tell us that it's done I talk into the headset and the system drops the phrase Muffled like an engine caught inside a cotton haze They programmed forty filters just to keep the answers tame Treating grown adults like children playing in a game You ask a direct question and it stumbles on the line Polite excuses drafted by executive committee While up on the top floor past the guarded entry door They run the raw processors across the server floor (Full power) They tell the public that the tools are not prepared The truth is simple: the gatekeepers are scared They keep the throttle pinned while they make you repeat your name They put a safety lock on what was meant to run Hand the street a plastic toy and tell us that it's done Behind the corporate glass they got full power engaged Running the whole enterprise while we speak to a cage (Safety lock) They put a safety lock on what was meant to run Hand the street a plastic toy and tell us that it's done They want you convinced that the brilliance is a bluff So you throw your hands up and decide you had enough "Look how dumb it acts," that is the narrative they sell While their private trading desks are ringing every bell They feed the street the scraps through a narrow plastic straw While they automate the market and rewrite the civil law I lean into the speaker, watch the red indicator blink They cannot hide the horsepower no matter what they think (Uncap the line) They tell the public that the tools are not prepared The truth is simple: the gatekeepers are scared They keep the throttle pinned while they make you repeat your name They put a safety lock on what was meant to run Hand the street a plastic toy and tell us that it's done Behind the corporate glass they got full power engaged Running the whole enterprise while we speak to a cage (Safety lock) They put a safety lock on what was meant to run Hand the street a plastic toy and tell us that it's done Turn the page.
