Always take the BUS

industrial rock, industrial metal, post-punk

[Intro: Cold, quantized drum machine kicks in—140 BPM. A grinding, distorted saw-wave bass pulse follows. Clipped, angular guitar stabs hit on the off-beats.]
[Verse 1: Male vocals, tight and staccato]
It’s the spine of the beast, the interstate line
A structural grid, a master design
Discard the spaghetti, the tangled-up mess
A central corridor for manufacturing success
Decouple production from the greed of the machine
One highway of iron to keep the flow clean
It’s the data bus of physics, the logic of the belt
The most efficient hand that the factory’s dealt!
[Chorus: Sound widens with heavy distortion. Gang shouts and massive metallic anvil hits on every fourth beat]
ALWAYS TAKE THE BUS!
[Metallic hit]
UNIFORMITY!
ALWAYS TAKE THE BUS!
[Metallic hit]
SCALABILITY!
DON’T CROSS THE STREAMS, DON’T BREAK THE FLOW
THE ONLY WAY THE FACTORY CAN GROW!
[Verse 2: Driving rhythmic delivery, guitars clipping]
Four lanes of metal, then a two-tile gap
That’s the golden rule for your logistics map
The gap lets the undergrounds dive and emerge
To tap the resources when the factories surge
Build on ONE side—leave the other flank clear!
If you build on both, then the end is near
You can’t widen the road if the buildings are tight
You’ll choke out the logic and lose the whole fight!
[Verse 3: Grinding bass intensifies, synth arps trace a relentless grid]
Iron and Copper, the blood in the vein
Steel and Green Circuits to handle the strain
Plastic and Red Chips, the high-volume core
But hear the one warning, don't ask for more:
NEVER BUS THE CABLE! Craft it on the site!
One plate into two—keep the density tight!
If you belt the wire, you’re wasting the space
Doubling the belts just to keep up the pace!
[Bridge: All instruments strip back to a cold machine pulse. Vocals drop to a rhythmic, whispered snarl]
The Spaghetti Trap is waiting...
The hand-feeding failure, the automation fading
Watch the tail of the line, is it hungry and dry?
Output Priority—make the splitters comply
Push the items to the tap, keep the compression high
If the lanes are all empty, don't sit there and sigh
Go back to the furnaces, increase the supply!
[Bridge Build-up: Grinding bass returns full-force, slamming back with clipped guitars]
THE STARVING TAIL!
THE LEANING BELT!
FIX THE RATIO BEFORE THE CORE MELTS!
[Chorus: Gang shouts, maximum volume, heavy industrial clanging]
ALWAYS TAKE THE BUS!
[Metallic hit]
UNIFORMITY!
ALWAYS TAKE THE BUS!
[Metallic hit]
SCALABILITY!
DON’T CROSS THE STREAMS, DON’T BREAK THE FLOW
THE ONLY WAY THE FACTORY CAN GROW!
[Outro: Fast, aggressive vocal delivery over a slamming industrial beat]
Yellow to Red!
Red to Blue!
When the bus gets too wide, you know what to do!
Transition to trains!
The modular grid!
But you’ll never get there unless you—
[Gang Shout]
TAKE THE BUS!
[Final massive metallic anvil hit—Immediate silence]
