Lyrics

Intro

Yeah

Check it

Turn it up

Verse 1

Disc is dead

Plastic piles turning into ghosts instead

You handed them the wallet

Then they pulled the cord out of the wall

Format shift

Standard procedure for the latest grift

System crash

Turned your collection into piles of ash

Pre-Chorus

We pay the toll

We lose control

We buy the hole

Chorus

You don't own it

They just let you hold it for a minute

Pay the rental

While they bleed the marrow from the bone

Locked out

Locked down

Shut it off and watch the screen go black

Shut it off and you can't fight back

Verse 2

Contract trap

Caught another victim in the download map

License failed

While the profit margins have all sailed

Binary chains

Clamping down on all the workers' brains

Price goes high

Watch the digital sunset in the sky

Pre-Chorus

We pay the toll

We lose control

We buy the hole

Chorus

You don't own it

They just let you hold it for a minute

Pay the rental

While they bleed the marrow from the bone

Locked out

Locked down

Shut it off and watch the screen go black

Shut it off and you can't fight back

Bridge

Expiry date on your identity

Expiry date on your integrity

Expiry date on your ability

Take it back

Break the stack

Rip the server off the rack

Kill the wire

Build the fire

Chorus

You don't own it

They just let you hold it for a minute

Pay the rental

While they bleed the marrow from the bone

Locked out

Locked down

Shut it off and watch the screen go black

Shut it off and you can't fight back
