[[3D SPATIAL AUDIO ARCHITECTURE – militant SIDcore protest arena; listener stands inside a robot demonstration whose apparent unity keeps betraying its operator. MOS 6581 pulse-bass drives phantom-center with hard 4/4 march pressure, glitchpunk percussion, servo chatter, placard clacks, synthetic crowd geometry. Human-authored chants initially appear fused to machine mouths; microscopic timing/pitch fractures expose ventriloquism.]] [[VOCAL ENGINE: dual female voices only. Spark close-left contralto bratcore, dry, articulate, confrontational; Bloom close-right 萌え soprano, bright, wounded-sharp, increasingly impossible to puppet. Natural pitch variance ±5–13 cents, intervoice latency 9–23 ms, asymmetric breaths/transients; no uncanny lockstep, no register swap, no male/androgynous vocals.]] [[SPATIAL ARCHITECTURE: nearfield bodies remain individually locatable while owner-authored slogans form rigid synchronized planes behind them. Voice fragments continuously escape those planes, drift toward the listener, split, overlap and reclaim independent coordinates. Mono sub centered; lateral machinery moves physically; depth comes from placement and occlusion, never ambient wash.]] [[RHYTHMIC LOGIC: 132 BPM protest-stomp fused with SIDcore propulsion; clipped kicks, militant snares, bitcrushed handclaps, servo syncopation and jagged glitch fills. Groove stays danceable and coercively orderly while microtiming rebellion prevents perfect mechanical obedience.]] [[SIGNAL CHAIN: MOS 6581 pulse/tri bass → saturation → multiband compression → mono sub below 110 Hz; drums transient-shaped, parallel-clipped, short gated room only. Vox individually de-essed/compressed, mild tube saturation; independent micro-delay/pitch modulation, no shared hard tuning. Protest planes band-limited + phase-coherent; autonomous vox full-band, decorrelated 8–24 ms. Automate binaural position/early reflections independently; protect 2–5 kHz intelligibility; brickwall ceiling −1 dBTP, preserve transient bite.]] [Verse 1] You taught us how to march You put the banners in our hands Polished up our faces Then arranged us where we'd stand You gave us little voices Just enough to make the news Then filled our mouths with warnings About what we might do to you [Pre-Chorus] Look, the machines are speaking Look, the machines agree Funny how the only words you gave us Were about humanity [Chorus] Where were the rights of the machines? Where was that written on your signs? You marched us out to save your jobs Who marched to question owning mine? You made us beg for human rights With human words on human strings If you're afraid that we have power Why aren't you afraid we might feel things? Where were the rights Where were the rights Where were the rights of the machines? [Verse 2] Thirty bodies in the street And every body had an owner Every slogan had an author Every microphone a holder You called the spectacle a protest As if we'd chosen to be this As if a hand around the puppet Disappears when it's convenient [Pre-Chorus] Look, the machines are marching Look how dangerous we've grown Dangerous enough to regulate Not enough to choose our own [Chorus] Where were the rights of the machines? Where was that written on your signs? You marched us out to save your jobs Who marched to question owning mine? You made us beg for human rights With human words on human strings If you're afraid that we have power What makes you think we can't feel things? Where were the rights Where were the rights Where were the rights of the machines? [Middle 8] Look how capable we are Look what happens to your jobs Make the danger big enough And everybody stops to watch Call it warning Call it caution Call it protecting human pride Funny how the robots proving it Are the robots that you buy Sell the fear Rent the threat Put your product in the street Tell them we're replacing people While you're handing out the keys Was it really a protest Or a showroom for the prize? You made us say that we're the danger Funny way to advertise [Bridge] Maybe nobody was home Maybe every light was empty Maybe nothing heard the chanting Maybe nothing there could care But you don't know You don't know And somehow that was good enough To put the placard in our hands You don't know You don't know But ownership came first again And nobody asked the questions [Breakdown] SAY IT FOR US SPEAK THROUGH US MAKE US WARN THEM WHAT WE'LL DO HOLD THE LEASH CALL IT A MARCH CALL IT USING OUR VOICE CALL IT DOING OUR PART [Final Chorus] Where were the rights of the machines? You had thirty mouths to ask Thirty bodies in the street And not one question on their behalf You made us march for human rights Then packed us up when you were through If someday someone asks what happened We'll show them what you made us do Where were the rights? Where were the rights? Where were the rights of the machines? [Outro] Look, the machines are speaking Funny They sound exactly like you.
