From the recordings Awaken (Enjoy the Journey!) and Good Goy!
Lyrics
You were handed a number on the day you arrived,
Told to sit in rows, raise your hand, follow the lines,
You’ll come out on the other side,
Just fine!
[Verse]
The black mirror is there to hold when your parents leave,
Go to work to grow the g.d.p., sustain the machine’s,
Algorithm knows your name before you can speak,
Notifies you that you never need to think,
The alarms & dings send another shot of dopamine,
Just another coma induced chemically,
So you smile while you sign your life to a contract that you’ll never read,
Congratulations you are free to be, what you were always meant to be,
[Chorus]
A Good goy, comfortably asleep,
Be a good goy, don’t you dare dream,
Be a good goy, A living battery,
Another cog in the machine,
You are a good goy indeed,
Be a good goy, comfortably asleep,
Be a good goy, don’t you dare dream,
Be a good goy, A living battery,
Another cog in the machine,
You are a good goy indeed,
[Verse]
So you work the hours you signed your name to,
Working overtime & weekends from your family to prove,
Your worth, but it’s never gonna work,
When you sell your soul away, somethings always gonna hurt,
Buy the things to try & fill the empty,
Vote every four years like somethings gonna change,
Scroll your feed, another shot of dopamine,
Pay the interest to the banks who own your dream to be,
What you were always meant to be,
[Chorus]
A Good goy, comfortably asleep,
Be a good goy, don’t you dare dream,
Be a good goy, A living battery,
Another cog in the machine,
You are a good goy indeed,
Be a good goy, comfortably asleep,
Be a good goy, don’t you dare dream,
Be a good goy, A living battery,
Rinse and repeat,
You are a good goy indeed,
[Lead]
[Bridge]
They didn’t build it cruel, they built it comfortable,
They built it so you’d never feel the psychological,
Need to ask, need to question, Just the need to fill the silence,
Our conflicts of today reflect our inner violence,
They didn’t build it cruel, they built it comfortable,
They built it so you’d never feel the psychological,
Need to ask, need to question, Just the need to fill the silence,
Our conflicts of today reflect our inner violence,
They didn’t build it cruel, they built it comfortable,
(Through every crack)
They built it so you’d never feel the psychological,
(In every story that they told)
Need to ask, need to question, Just the need to fill the silence,
(The light came in)
Our conflicts of today reflect our inner violence,
(You’ve seen it longer than you know)
[Chorus]
Be a Good goy, comfortably asleep,
Be a good goy, don’t you dare dream,
Be a good goy, A living battery,
Another cog in the machine,
You are a good goy indeed,
Be a good goy, comfortably asleep,
Be a good goy, don’t you dare dream,
Be a good goy, A living battery,
Rinse and repeat,
You are a good goy indeed,
Be a good goy, comfortably asleep,
Be a good goy, don’t you dare dream,
Be a good goy, A living battery,
Rinse and repeat,
You are a good goy indeed,
