[Static clicks]
[Intro: Paper rustling]
(Here is the News!)

[Verse 1 : rapid fire / slogan barrage]
No one is illegal on stolen land
All cops are bad, no context, hand to hand
Metal lives matter, louder than before
Silence is violence, noise is law
(do it do it do it)

Trust the science, question power
Eat the rich in a golden hour
Peak oil’s dead, peak oil’s back
Post-truth chorus, verbal attack
(do it do it do it)

Free speech zone, hate speech crime
History ends every other time
Decarbonise, don’t touch my car
Global village, tribal scar
(do it do it do it)

[Verse 2 : faster, denser]
Globalise the intifada
Hashtag wisdom, instant nada
Net neutral, carbon sink
Blink once, blink twice, don’t think
(do it do it do it)

Safe space, unsafe words
Signal flares for fragile herds
Deconstruct the family home
Where have all the good ones gone?
(follow follow, follow follow)

Borderless love: gated hearts
Everything falls into parts
Raise the voice, shut the gate
Clap on cue, smash the state
(Is your brain an autonomous zone?)

[Interlude: Loud thunderclap]
[instrumental break: virtuoso synth pitch-bending display of talent]

[Pre-Chorus – tightening coil]
Say it shorter
Say it cleaner
Say it like a moral subpoena
Say it now
Say it fast
Say it like it’s built to last

[Chorus – smooth, human, expansive choral backing singers]
Ideas take each other’s hands
Round the fire, round the lands
Not alone, they travel well
Threaded stories we can’t unspell

Memes don’t walk one by one
They braid together when they run
Spinning wide in borrowed skin
A midsummer dance, where thoughts begin

[drop: glassy synth lead glissando]

[Verse 3 : weak firmness, still relentless]
Speak Truth to Power, listen to me:
New laws enforce cohesion of society
Emergency powers, just for now
Watch your step, take the vow
(you must obey) (obey, obey) (obey)

Context matters, except today
Read the room, then look away
Every map’s a battlefield
Every word a concealed yield
(logocentric reconstruction) (is the new meta)

Ancient scratchings, prison wall
Same old jokes, same old call
Taxes unfair, gods are late
Kilns still firing bureau-crate
(Mesopotamia)

[Bridge : half spoken, half sung]
Not a hive, not a void
Not a script to be deployed
Meaning lingers, meaning slips
Rides in bundles, rides in ships
(Decolonize West Papua)

Not the word that ends the fight
Not the silence dressed as right
Something travels, something sticks
Not truth, but what replicates
(think for yourselves, sheeple)

[Chorus : epic side-chained synthwave extasy ]
Ideas take each other’s hands
Cross the years, cross the sands
Carried forward, bent but true
Old complaints made new

Not commandments carved in stone
More like seeds the wind has blown
Some take root, some fall apart
Still they move, plasmid to heart

[Outro]
Simulacra are not real
Even if they make you feel.
The search for authenticity
Occurs between you and me.
(there is only now)
