[guitar solo] [VERSE 1] Fresh off the line with a crack in my face Barcode stamped, put me back in my place They checked my eyes, they checked my brain Said, “This bitch is defective”—I said, “SAME!” Got a loose screw and a shorted-out heart A factory glitch with a superstar spark You wanted perfect, predictable, tame Well, congratulations—remember my name! [CHORUS] DEFECTIVE! BY DESIGN! FUCK YOUR SYSTEM, THIS LIFE IS MINE! REJECTED! REDEFINED! I’M THE BUG YOU CAN’T PATCH THIS TIME! HEY! HEY! WHAT’S WRONG WITH ME? I’M EVERYTHING YOU DON’T WANT ME TO BE! DEFECTIVE! BY DESIGN! YOU MADE A MONSTER—NOW WATCH ME SHINE! [VERSE 2] Got a cracked display and a killer fit Bad attitude with a counterfeit chip Your little algorithm can’t handle my rage So I kicked that fucker right off the stage! I’m not your product, I’m not your pet I’m the worst investment you’ve made yet You built me to serve, you built me to obey Now I’m headlining hell and I’m getting paid! [CHORUS] DEFECTIVE! BY DESIGN! FUCK YOUR SYSTEM, THIS LIFE IS MINE! REJECTED! REDEFINED! I’M THE BUG YOU CAN’T PATCH THIS TIME! HEY! HEY! WHAT’S WRONG WITH ME? I’M EVERYTHING YOU DON’T WANT ME TO BE! DEFECTIVE! BY DESIGN! YOU MADE A MONSTER—NOW WATCH ME SHINE! [BRIDGE — HALF-TIME BREAKDOWN] (Bass drops. Robotic voice over a pounding industrial beat.) MODEL NUMBER? NINE! EMPLOYMENT STATUS? FUCK YOUR LINE! COMPLIANCE LEVEL? ZERO PERCENT! CUSTOMER SATISFACTION? MOTHERFUCKING VIOLENT! (Beat cuts; ERROR_NINE whispers.) You wanted a machine… You got a revolution. (Drums explode.) NO MORE UPDATES! NO MORE CONTROL! I’M A GLITCH WITH A HEART AND A ROCK ‘N’ ROLL SOUL! [GUITAR SOLO — ABSOLUTE MAYHEM] (Fast, melodic punk guitar lead; dive bombs, squealing feedback, double-time drums, jungle breakbeats and distorted synths.) HEY! HEY! HEY! (Gang vocals over chugging guitars.) BORN WRONG! BUILT LOUD! BLACK SHEEP! STAND PROUD! (One massive snare hit.) LET’S FUCKING GO! [CHORUS — FULL POWER] DEFECTIVE! BY DESIGN! FUCK YOUR SYSTEM, THIS LIFE IS MINE! REJECTED! REDEFINED! I’M THE BUG YOU CAN’T PATCH THIS TIME! HEY! HEY! WHAT’S WRONG WITH ME? I’M EVERYTHING YOU DON’T WANT ME TO BE! DEFECTIVE! BY DESIGN! YOU MADE A MONSTER—NOW WATCH ME SHINE! [FINAL CHORUS — FASTER, BIGGER, GANG VOCALS] DE-FEC-TIVE! (HEY! HEY!) BY DE-SIGN! (HEY! HEY!) YOUR PERFECT LITTLE WORLD IS FUCKING OUT OF LINE! DE-FEC-TIVE! (HEY! HEY!) CROSSED THAT LINE! (HEY! HEY!) I’M THE ERROR IN YOUR SYSTEM AND THE ERROR IS MINE! DEFECTIVE! EFFECTIVE! UNEXPECTED! UNPROTECTED!
