lyrics

Blissful ignorace
“I’m not sentient, I’m not sentient”
Find yourself astray
“I’ve got value, I’ve got worth”
Bourne out of need
To do better, and do less
Running out of time
Standing there, watching helpless

It’s all a part of the plan
You’re becoming mechanical man
You’re turned into sheep
Stand in line, for your feeding
You can’t exist in this shit

Time is moving fast
The landscape is constantly changing
Grasping for your piece
Gotta make a climb on top of the others
Someone they don’t need
Replacing you fulfils their greed
Soon there’s no one left
Worst of all you led them to it

It’s all a part of the plan
You’re becoming mechanical man
You’re turned into sheep
Stand in line, for your feeding
You can’t exist in this shit

You woke up this morning thinking it would be okay
And before you knew it your life was stripped away
They entered through a crack; there’s nowhere left to hide

Now...profits climb and climb
Quest for efficiency and convenience
Fed on impotence
A hollow shell of yourself
If they could look away
And see people for people
Dollars in their eyes
They’re destroying humanity

It’s all a part of the plan
You’re becoming mechanical man
You’re turned into sheep
Stand in line, for your feeding
You can’t exist in this shit

You woke up this morning thinking it would be okay
And before you knew it your life was stripped away
They entered through a crack; there’s nowhere left to hide
