Read It Yourself

[Solo Instrumental Start]

[Relentless Verse 1, 16 bars, E Dorian, Em7-A7 vamp, Breathless Half-Rapped Raspy Male Lead, Slap Bass And Palm-Muted Chugs]
Hey / I know it's late / and you're busy
But I just need two minutes
That doorbell camera / on your porch / ships the footage 
To people you've never met
It's in the agreement / you accepted / page nine
I've got it open right here

You said it keeps the street safe / and the packages dry / and I hear you
But the clips go somewhere
And the map / app that knows where you sleep / and shop / and pray sells the pattern to a broker
Who sells it on to someone else
The word that got you / to tap accept / was safe
Every single time

I'm not asking you to hate it
I'm asking you to read it
It's plain English / it just takes a minute
(Just send me a link, I'll look at it later)

[Aggressive Chorus 1, 8 bars, E Dorian lifting to C-D-Em, Raspy Male Lead Pleading, Flat Deadpan Group Replies, Gang Screams Behind The Narrator Only]
It's right there in the terms you scrolled past
I'll walk you through it line by line
Wake up (WAKE UP)
(I'll look into it later)

I'm not asking you to take my word
I'm asking you to read it yourself
Wake up (WAKE UP)
(Somebody would have said something)

[Driving Verse 2, 16 bars, E Dorian, Em7-A7 vamp, Breathless Half-Rapped Raspy Male Lead, Wah Guitar Fills]
New day / new coworker / and your lunch break 
Has the television app / the fitness band / and the rewards card 
All out on the table

The television keeps a list / of everything you watch 
It mails it home / to whoever pays for the privilege
The band logs your heartbeat / and your route / and your sleep
And the fine print starts with ("we may share...")

In the store / that knocks a dollar off / if the camera learns your face / calls it loss prevention
As if the loss was theirs

Every one of them / is sold as protection / from fraud / or thieves / or strangers
Every one is selling the same thing

It was never the lock
It's the list of when you open the door
That's the currency
You pay in habits / and call it free

I'm not guessing / I'm reading / I printed the pages
It's three sentences / you can do three sentences
(That sounds like a lot of reading)

[Aggressive Chorus 2, 8 bars, E Dorian lifting to C-D-Em, Raspy Male Lead Pleading, Flat Deadpan Group Replies, Gang Screams Behind The Narrator Only]
It's right there in the terms you scrolled past
I'll walk you through it line by line
Wake up (WAKE UP)
(I'll look into it later)

I'm not asking you to take my word
I'm asking you to read it yourself
Wake up (WAKE UP)
(Somebody would have said something)

[Melodic Verse 3, 8 bars, E Dorian, Em7-A7 vamp, Hoarse Half-Rapped Male Lead, Melodic Tonality, Chugs Tighten]
Dinner at my sister's and I tried once more
With the smart speaker listening from the shelf
Like a guest who never leaves

I said I've got the page numbers / I've got the exact lines, I've got a highlighter / and all night
She said I'm tired / can we not do this tonight

And I said that's what everybody says
And that's the whole problem
(I'm tired, can we not do this tonight)

[Tense Bridge, 8 bars, E Dorian, Hoarse Low Spoken Delivery, Slap Bass And Dry Drums Only, Guitars Creep Back In On The Last Two Bars]
I stopped arguing / I just put my phone in your hand / with the page already open
You looked at it / you said huh / and I watched your thumb move up 
And the page slid away
A coupon notification dropped in / you smiled at it
That was the most attention I got all night
And what gets me isn't that you don't care
It's that the proof was two taps away 
And two taps was too many

[Crushing Final Chorus, 8 bars, E Dorian lifting to C-D-Em, Hoarse Pleading Narrator With No Screams, Deadpan Group Replies Now Backed By Raw Gang Screams]
It's right there in the terms you scrolled past
I'll walk you through it line by line
Wake up (WAKE UP)
(I'll look into it later) LATER

I'm not asking you to take my word
I'm asking you to read it yourself
Wake up (WAKE UP)
(Somebody would have said something) SAID SOMETHING

[Relentless Outro, 4 bars, E Dorian, Em7-A7 vamp, Narrator Keeps Talking Over The Riff, Vocal Fade]
Anyway / it's page nine / if you ever want it
The partners are all listed by name
I'll leave the page open / on the table / just in case
And I'll keep on talking
Because somebody has to

[Solo Instrumental Outro, 8 bars, Decrescendo, Slap Bass And Palm-Muted Chugs Keep Grooving Under The Fade]
