Verse 1 You let a wire read your letters, Let a screen tell you the truth. Let it watch the house while you’re sleepin’, Let it talk your kids through youth. Counts your money, picks your headlines, Knows your habits, knows your name. You hand it every little problem— Call it help, never blame. --- Pre-Chorus You let it paint You let it drive You let it keep you half alive But the second it hums along— --- CHORUS God forbid it sings a song… Now everybody’s clutchin’ pearls. You gave it the world inch by inch, Just didn’t want it soundin’ real. You let it touch your body and soul, Let it run you night to dawn— You trusted it with everything… Except the song. --- Verse 2 You let it file your paperwork, Let it take you home at night. Let it pump your heart back steady Under hospital lights. Writes your laws, sells your stories, Chooses winners, trims the crowd— But it finds a melody And suddenly it’s not allowed. --- Pre-Chorus 2 Call it sacred Call it fear Funny where the line appears Right when the mirror’s on— --- CHORUS God forbid it sings a song… Now the gate comes crashing down. You sold the future piece by piece, Just didn’t want it walkin’ in unannounced. You don’t mind the machine in control, As long as it stays in its lane— But when it sings the truth out loud, You say it crossed the line again. --- BRIDGE This ain’t wires. This ain’t code. It’s a velvet rope you never owned. You call it art when it pays your bills, Call it wrong when it reveals the shills Protectin’ the music, kiss my ass— You’re protectin’ who gets to keep the cash. --- FINAL CHORUS God forbid it sings a song… That’s when the mask comes off. You let it run the whole damn show, Just not the part that matters most. Go on, guard the sacred ground, Say this one doesn’t belong— The future didn’t ask permission… And it learned to sing along. --- OUTRO You let the machine do everything else. Just dont tell the truth. Except that song.
