T&Cs

[Verse 1: JJ Olifent]
They could sell your soul and you wouldn't know
Feels like we're living in The Truman Show
With the world around us on overload
Trapped in a bubble, I might overdose
On too much screen time, comatose
The device you rely on overflows
Hacktivists, we expose the clones, reload
Shoot down the drones
Wake the fuck up 'cause you're glued to phones
Forty page contract, might just skip that
Advertised poison, might just sip that
Sit back, cotch while my iPhone listens and learns
Burned by contractual terms, observed
Don't let them betray me
Wave your rights away like McKamey

[Chorus: J Hurley, JJ Olifent & Both]
Everybody wants their privacy
But nobody reads those T's and C's
State patrolling frequencies
Locking you down like thought police
Data sold in another breach
Cyber-attacks where money bleeds
Sold your soul to third parties
With those T's and C's
Everybody wants their privacy
But nobody reads those T's and C's
State patrolling frequencies
Locking you down like thought police
Data sold in another breach
Cyber-attacks where money bleeds
Sold your soul to third parties
With those T's and C's

[Verse 2: J Hurley]
How did we reach this peak?
Probably should have read those T's and C's
Now we're sucked into this new regime
Everybody got their eyes glued to the screen
And I know that my device is probably listening to me
Lights in the corner flashing up green
Trying to catch me like CCTV
Yeah, that's deep, already agreed
So we're treading on thin ice carefully
Now that Big Brother is watching me
Robots turn man into a screen fiend
Please release me from the squeeze
Mindset bursting at the seams
A fake profile might just crumble your dreams
Sold your soul to third parties
With those T's and C's

[Verse 3: JJ Olifent]
Satellites in the sky that will find any guy, anytime, anywhere like the all-seeing eye
There's nowhere to fucking hide
Jump on the mic and close the divide
People are going batshit crazy online
Screen time on the rise nationwide with vacant eyes
Got your brain fried like Hannibal Lecter
You're "giving the people the power"
We're not here for your lecture
We're here to upset ya
We need real facetime
The system's gonna grow like AI
Senseless with another day gone by
Censored living in that cyber life
Where we are set for life up high
Submit and sign on the dotted line

[Chorus: J Hurley, JJ Olifent & Both]
Everybody wants their privacy
But nobody reads those T's and C's
State patrolling frequencies
Locking you down like thought police
Data sold in another breach
Cyber-attacks where money bleeds
Sold your soul to third parties
With those T's and C's
Everybody wants their privacy
But nobody reads those T's and C's
State patrolling frequencies
Locking you down like thought police
Data sold in another breach
Cyber-attacks where money bleeds
Sold your soul to third parties
With those T's and C's
With those T's and C's

[Bridge: JJ Olifent]
Like a puppet, a shadow lost in the stream
Entangled with wires, living in someone else's dream
So stand with me and take a plea
To fight this technological disease
In a world where we're still blinded by our screens
Gone astray in this binary sea
This ain't ChatGPT
We're just trying to live free
Puppeteers pulling strings
Over the smoke screen

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro: JJ Olifent, J Hurley]
What if we lose our signal?
Then do we lose ourselves?
Are we high up in the cloud, or are we somewhere else?
We burn
They earn
We burn
Enslaved by these words
What if we lose connection?
Do we still feel connected?
Are we locked inside a cloud, is this a misconception?
We burn
They earn
We burn
Enslaved by these words
What if we lose our signal?
Then do we lose ourselves?
Are we high up in the cloud, or are we somewhere else?
We burn
They earn
We burn
Enslaved by these words
What if we lose connection?
Do we still feel connected?
Are we locked inside a cloud, is this a misconception?
We burn
They earn
We burn
Enslaved by these words
