LYRICS

this is how the cyber purge came to be.

they divided and conquered us in every feed,

turning me against you, and you against me.

this is how injustice crushed us in its teeth

one part hate, two parts greed...

this is how they fed us into the machine.

bankrupt from her a.i. startup's crash and burn,

flavia, the grotesque duchess of cambridge analytica,

lucked into a fountain of youth as technoaristocrats do,

getting her elected, as they do.

the cyber purge started like a vicious meme.

they threw one grenade in the henhouse.

every chicken screamed.

injustice crushed us in its teeth while the elites fled the scene.

then they divided and conquered us into grist for the machine.

this bloodbath splattered holographically, flooding in and dashing all of our dreams.

bio-enhance your looks, ms. president, but we know what's underneath.

you're just a puppet of the corpo-oligarchy.

rumor has it she got fully upgraded--cyborg body, 'wet set'.

she can live forever as long as the rest of us work ourselves to death.

yeah, she can live forever as long as the rest of us keep working ourselves to death.

this bloodbath splattered holographically, flooding in and dashing all of our dreams.

this bloodbath splattered holographically, flooding in and dashing all of our dreams.

a holographic bloodbath splattered across the screen, flooded the feeds, and dashed all our dreams.
