Lyrics
This chamber echoes like a void
Good faith debate all but destroyed
Unwitting jingoism infects the hoi polloi
Whoa
Your individuality’s been hijacked and subsumed
Whoa
A global homogeny, conditioned to consume, yeah
Endowed with two ears and a tongue
We speak twice more than we listen
Misguided empathy will make soldiers of our young
Whoa
Your individuality’s been hijacked and subsumed
Whoa
A blue-blood technocracy, the grave has been exhumed
And you’re the one entombed
Led by the nose to that which you’re predisposed
Silence all dissenting voices to go unopposed
Bound by the algorithmic foot-in-mouth disease
There's no profit in peace
The proxy wars of the unseen
A weapons-grade bureaucracy
And captured tech monopolies
Pulling the strings
Muzzle the rebel Bourgeoisie
Owners of naught, you’ll be happy
The death of our democracy
There’s no profit in peace
