I’m Tired

Lyrics

Im tired - tired of being lied to Tired of being part of a machine but what can i do - All the things that i aspire to Require me to be this person that i truly have no desire to In this cubicle - weaponizing code for a cause Sidestepping all protection and subverting the laws Is the code inside the right hands? (nah) Do i think i am the right man (for the job?) Paying to win in the age of the spins Linked hypertexts beat the ink in the pens - Let the water wash away my sins Carry them out to the bay where my story begins All fun and games til the zeitgeist changes Taking history and rewriting the ages Shouldve seen it coming i was running the stages Propaganda programs posting on pages - We on that brave new huxley Every catchy headline we have a look-see And the formula - fine tuned and finely applied Is what finally do us in with these final goodbyes Swan song from a dot com - Packets fired from the bots on The shoes off but the socks on And they proxied up and blasting til the stocks gone Playing taps on the trumpets Slight adjustment to your moral compass Desperate times call for desperate measures I must forego all of the simple pleasures That im accustomed to get back on the hustle dude Exercise cerebral muscles dude We all got choices in our life to adhere to Are you only powerful cause everyone fears you? Radiating hate so nobody go near you? Maybe you should check yourself and look in the mirror dude - Im an engineer with problems to solve Theres a time in everybodys life they need to evolve If i continue on this path ill just be full of regret Compromising all my morals for the front of the jet ...and i can't have that
