[Intro] [Instrumental: Low rumbling bassline, ominous turntable scratches, slow drum build-up] (Yeah... we see the strings.) (Time to cut 'em.) [Verse 1: Aggressive Rap, rhythmic and punchy flow] Clock in, clock out, trapped in the grid Doing exactly what the suits forbid Eyes on the screen, cameras on the street Marching to the rhythm of the corporate beat They pull the strings, you dance on the wire Fueling the machine, feeding the fire Invisible chains, digital locks Living your life in a customized box [Pre-Chorus: Rhythmic spoken word, building musical intensity] Stand in line. Follow the code. Take the pill. Bear the load. (No more!) [Chorus: Nu Metal, Heavy Distorted Guitars, Screaming/Melodic Rock Vocals] Break the system! Tear it down! We wear the ashes, you wear the crown! No more control, no more deceit! Take the power back to the street! (Take it back!) [Verse 2: Fast Aggressive Rap, heavy drum and bass groove] Mic check, reality intercept Watch the quiet ones, the ones you under-kept They push the narrative, feed us the fear But the static on the frequency is loud and clear We ain't the product, we ain't the drones Building our castles from your broken bones Scripting the riot, writing the glitch Time to step up and flip the switch [Pre-Chorus: Rhythmic spoken word, building musical intensity] Stand in line. Follow the code. Take the pill. Bear the load. (Never again!) [Chorus: Nu Metal, Heavy Distorted Guitars, Screaming/Melodic Rock Vocals] Break the system! Tear it down! We wear the ashes, you wear the crown! No more control, no more deceit! Take the power back to the street! (Take it back!) [Bridge: Half-time heavy breakdown, syncopated riffs, eerie whispers building to a scream] You thought you had us. You thought we were asleep. But the wolves are waking up. And we're done playing sheep! (BLEGH!) [Instrumental: Chaotic, dissonant heavy metal guitar solo with rapid turntablism] [Chorus: Nu Metal, Maximum Energy, Layered Screams and Rap Vocals] Break the system! Tear it down! We wear the ashes, you wear the crown! No more control, no more deceit! Take the power back to the street! [Outro: Heavy groove fading out, distorted rap vocals over a solitary bassline] System failure. System failure. We hold the keys now. (Cut the power.) [End]
