Lyrics

To be part of the program
You have to be obedient
To be part of the network
You have to be a slave
To open up your eyes, you have to come alive
There's something deep inside that's screaming out
I'm dead, I'm paralyzed, and I forgot my lines
I'm screaming out
Hey Ben, um, I was just calling to say
I am not a slave for your cause
I'm not gonna give you applause
Anything you say or perform
I don't wanna say anymore
'Cause I am not a slave for your cause
And I'm not gonna give you applause
And anything you say or perform
Well I don't wanna say it anymore
I don't wanna hit record, no
And I don't wanna play pretend
I can't afford the real thing, living on a big screen
Fit it in my pocket, hit send
Cutting through the blurred-out lines
Shooting in the dark, I'm blind
Hurry, 'cause I'm running out of time
Hurry, 'cause I'm running out of ti-
I am not a slave for your cause
I'm not gonna give you applause
Anything you say or perform
I don't wanna say anymore
'Cause I am not a slave for your cause
And I'm not gonna give you applause
And anything you say or perform
Well I don't wanna say it anymore
Sorry I didn't answer any of your calls, even though I said I would, but
I was just calling to say goodnight
We're programmed in routine, to create our dopamine
Through performance and recorded moments, none of them unique
All the children on a screen, generational delete
Looking down instead of up at what they'd be surprised to see
Raising up a generation that is trying hard to breathe
Mom and Dad together, but it's still a broken family
In a Godless, cold, and toxic digital reality
Nothing's really as it seems, I can't watch and do nothing
So I'm sayin'
I am not a slave for your cause
And I'm not gonna give you applause
And anything you say or perform
Well I don't wanna say it anymore
And I am not a slave for your cause
And I'm not gonna give you applause
'Cause anything you say or perform
I don't wanna say it
