Imprisoned by the Syndicate - YTCracker

My eyes, slowly rise from a shut state

Clearly an open and shut case

Imprisoned, by the syndicate

Microchips implanted in my wrist I get

Branded mugshot scan it along with a handprint

And the biometric tracking is mandatory where my story begins

Just another prisoner who is making amends

The cell doors open

Everyone exits their cells in a uniform motion

But none of us move until the guard has spoken

Cause a broken jaw ain’t a pleasant notion

And our cold titanium stalls become walls (door shutting)

Gravity shackles engage

Between my thin wrists and I shift my legs

Shuffle past the med ward

Where the med board is hard at work with their record

Sedate the inmates and make peace

So strayed seeds and crazies one day cease

To miscalibrate the state’s needs

By doing just whatever they pleased

You gotta follow every law to the letter

Or find yourself in prison sitting with men who refuse doing better

«A new privacy application is making waves in the news again

After another wave of arrests have brought down at least 35

People in six states related to online privacy and neutrality»

I’m fresh to my con-clique —

A conclave of convicts who wronged this

System devoid of all conflict upon which

Speaking out gets you jailed with a promptness

Speech is a crime defined by the law now

Incorrect speech incarcerate long now

Used to be the way to the convey your freedom

Now it’s just a way to display your demons

Fuck police

Beat fellow citizens up on the streets

The ones they swore to protect from elites

But now fight their battles with batons and beat

Anyone who doesn’t conform to the «norm»

Established by the branches of a government born

From a document draft that ensured our survival

But instead it destroyed all our rights to rival

Because the corrupt found a way to stop it

No one pure of soul finds their way into politics

So all this voting is represented

By representatives who were bad to begin with

Then the promise of money became true

Every vulture took a piece of the loot

Now all the people at the bottom they got nothing to do

Except watch as their world slowly fades to blue

…But it wasn’t always like this
