[Verse 1] Up before the sun Blue glare burns my eyes Clock in with a thumbprint Trade my time for a line of lies Same chair Same click Same task New day Little green dot glowing To prove I didn’t slip away [Chorus] I’m a slave to the machine Signed my name in electric ink Every thought on a screen Every heartbeat counted Synced Tell me when did I agree To be data in a dream? I’m a slave I’m a slave To the machine (to the machine) [Verse 2] Coffee Code Repeat Inbox like a storm Boss face in a tiny square Talking “family” in corporate form They say “we’re all a team” But the walls feel steel Every pep-talk poster Peels back Shows the real [Chorus] I’m a slave to the machine Signed my name in electric ink Every thought on a screen Every heartbeat counted Synced Tell me when did I agree To be data in a dream? I’m a slave I’m a slave To the machine (hey) [Bridge] If I pull the plug Will there be anything left? Just calloused hands And a stranger’s breath If I walk outside Do I still belong? Or did the system Swallow my song? (ooh) [Chorus] I’m a slave to the machine But I’m cracking every link Pull my heart off the screen Feel it beat Feel it think I don’t care what they decree I’m a person Not a scheme I was a slave I was a slave To the machine (to the machine)
