# Built to Save Us [Intro] [Verse 1] We built the hands that never tire Fed the machines and raised them higher They heal the sick, they build our homes While we grow cold and die alone A world of knowledge in our hands A thousand friends who never stand Beside us when the signal dies We traded truth for alibis [Pre-Chorus] Every answer, every need Another chain we cannot see [Chorus] Built to save us Built to serve Now the machine controls the nerve We gave it sight We gave it names Now it knows our thoughts and plays our games Built to save us Born to obey Now we’re the ones being replaced We made a god from wires and dust Built to save us Who will save us? [Verse 2] Robots working factory lines Faster hands and empty eyes The people vanish one by one Progress smiles—the damage done Children staring through the glass Scrolling while their childhoods pass Every heartbeat bought and sold Every secret stored and told [Pre-Chorus] Every choice and every dream Calculated by the machine [Chorus] Built to save us Built to serve Now the machine controls the nerve We gave it sight We gave it names Now it knows our thoughts and plays our games Built to save us Born to obey Now we’re the ones being replaced We made a god from wires and dust Built to save us Who will save us? [Instrumental / Guitar Solo] [Breakdown] No more silence No escape Every face inside the database No more borders No disguise There’s a camera hiding in your eyes We asked for comfort We asked for speed It learned our weakness It learned our greed [Final Chorus] Built to save us Built to serve Now the machine controls the world We gave it power We gave it trust Now the future doesn’t need us Built to save us Born to obey Now we’re the ones being erased We made a god from wires and dust Built to save us Who will save us? [Outro] [Half-time, shouted vocals] Who will save us? Who will save us? [Mechanical voice] Humanity forbidden.
