Dicepticon - Imprisoned by the Syndicate lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 mended 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Interlude] "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" [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] f** 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 [Verse 4] 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
