[Intro — sweet synthetic female voice] Welcome to HaloSync. Protecting little minds. Creating brighter futures. Good children are happy children. And happy children always obey. [Verse 1] When I was little, I never cried, Never questioned, never lied. Mummy said I was her perfect girl, The sweetest child in the whole wide world. Thirty-five and I finally knew, There was something inside me controlling what I’d do. A little chip behind my ear, Deciding what I thought and felt for years. [Pre-Chorus] They called it love, they called it care, Said it kept me safe from everywhere. I broke the code, I cut the chain, Swore I’d never let it happen again. [Chorus] HaloSync, h-h-HaloSync, Don’t you dare to question, don’t you dare to think. Pretty little angel, keep your halo bright, We can make your every thought come out just right. HaloSync, c-c-control, A little piece of heaven taking over your soul. Smile so sweet, do as you’re told, You’re never too young to lose control. [Verse 2] My daughter came home from school today, Sat down quietly, put her toys away. No silly questions, no cheeky grin, Just a perfect smile that didn’t quite fit. I asked her why she’d been so good, She said, “Because we have to, Mum.” “They say that anger makes us bad, So now we never have to feel sad.” [Pre-Chorus] A familiar feeling, a familiar fear, I noticed something behind her ear. A tiny light beneath her skin, And suddenly I knew what they’d done to her. [Chorus] HaloSync, h-h-HaloSync, Don’t you dare to question, don’t you dare to think. Pretty little angel, keep your halo bright, We can make your every thought come out just right. HaloSync, c-c-control, A little piece of heaven taking over your soul. Smile so sweet, do as you’re told, You’re never too young to lose control. [Bridge — furious vocals, distorted school announcement] Who gave you the right? Who gave you permission? She’s my daughter! She’s not your fucking experiment! … [Automated voice] Parental consent is no longer required. Behavioural optimisation is mandatory. Your child’s happiness is our priority. Resistance may affect your parental suitability rating. [Final Chorus — explosive bass drop] HaloSync, h-h-HaloSync, You can’t tell my little girl what she can think. Take your perfect angels, take your lies, I want to see the fire in her eyes. HaloSync, c-c-control, You don’t get to own another child’s soul. Let her laugh, let her cry, Let her feel what it means to be alive. [Outro — sweet synthetic female voice] HaloSync update complete. Student compliance: One hundred per cent. Parental interference detected. … Initiating family synchronisation. … Goodnight, Mummy.
