"Programmed to Obey"(System of a Down-inspired)

Verse 1 Lines of code in the veins of the weak, A factory of thoughts where they silence the speak. Eyes wide open, but you still can’t see, You’re the cog in the system, programmed to agree. Flash, swipe, repeat the command, They pull the strings, you play in their band. Digital chains, invisible weight, March to the rhythm, accept your fate. Chorus Programmed to obey, it’s the modern disease, Freedom’s just a product they sell with ease. Programmed to obey, we fall to our knees, But the truth in the silence will bring us peace. Verse 2 Scroll the abyss, let it fill your soul, The deeper you dive, the less you control. A thousand voices, a single thought, You think you’re alive, but your will’s been bought. Scream in the void, no one will hear, The algorithm’s your god, and it feeds on fear. You’re the sum of your likes, the slave of your feed, Programmed to consume, programmed to need. Chorus Programmed to obey, it’s the modern disease, Freedom’s just a product they sell with ease. Programmed to obey, we fall to our knees, But the truth in the silence will bring us peace. Bridge (intense, chaotic) Break the chain, shatter the screen! Fight the ghost in the machine! Pull the plug, watch it all fall! Can you feel it? Can you feel it at all? Breakdown (slow, heavy, building back up) Unplug the wires, disconnect the stream, Your mind is your own, not part of their scheme. But the pull is strong, and the lights are bright, Will you wake from the dark, or stay blind in the light? Chorus (with heightened aggression) Programmed to obey, it’s the modern disease, Freedom’s just a product they sell with ease. Programmed to obey, we fall to our knees, But the truth in the silence will bring us peace. Outro (whispered, haunting) Obey, obey, the voices say, They shape the night, they steal the day. Obey, obey, the system’s play, But the mind that wakes can find its way.
