Neon Ticker Burn [Aussie Agitators Cover]

Australian folk song, modern nu metal, modern rock

Hum

[Verse 1] I wake up to the hum, that's the first thing I hear Not birds, not traffic, just the sound of the gears Coffee gets cold while I'm checking my phone Scrolling through disasters in a voice that's not my own The news ticker burns like a neon sign Tells me something's broken but I'm running out of time I know the score, I can read the room But I'm still paying rent in a sinking tomb

[Chorus] The hum, the hum, it's all I can feel This machine keeps turning, nothing's ever real We're burning it down while we're clocking in The hum, the hum, that's where we begin It's the sound of everything working as designed Leave your conscience at the door, we'll leave it behind

[Verse 2] Job's still waiting, same desk, same chair Same people talking about the same despair We all know better, we all see clear But we're too locked in to actually disappear Lunch break scrolling, more bad news The same anger, just a different bruise I could walk out, I could scream and yell But tomorrow I'd be back in this living hell

[Chorus] The hum, the hum, it's all I can feel This machine keeps turning, nothing's ever real We're burning it down while we're clocking in The hum, the hum, that's where we begin The anger's scheduled now, it comes on time We've monetized the rage, turned it into a line

[Verse 3] Drive home through the sprawl, past the signs of decay Infrastructure crumbling in a very specific way See the cracks in everything, see the wear and tear See the people who just stopped giving a care I could be different, I could opt out But I'm wearing their system like a second skin now The hum's inside me, it's in my bones Even when I'm alone, I'm never alone

[Bridge] (this is the cost, this is the price) We know exactly what we're doing (we know, we know) The fury's just another product line Another way to keep us moving My anger doesn't change a thing It just lets me sleep at night Knowing full well what's underneath And choosing the comfortable lie

[Chorus] The hum, the hum, still all I can feel This machine keeps turning, and it always will We're burning it down and we're clocking in The hum, the hum, that's where we begin The anger fades when the sun goes down But the hum stays constant, that's the sound of the town

[Outro] I wake up to the hum, that's the first thing I hear Same as yesterday, same as next year The hum, the hum Yeah, the hum, the hum (it never stops, it never stops)
