ROM:101

A bad checksum, a bug in the head
Corrupting the way you’re thinking
You must reject your eyes and your ears
And swallow what they are drinking

A full thought redesign
This game that everyone plays
They hate the themselves
So they take our tongues away

Switch! You can’t turn it off
Once it exists then it’s here to stay
Switch! They punish your thoughts
Controlling the things you’re allowed to say

One is zero, and zero is one
The bit masking has already begun
Microcontrollers are hashing our words
This machine language is growing absurd
They’re operating on the binary bits
They’re rounding up and flipping the switch

They gave the tin man a heart
He never asked for a brain
His pyrrhic feelings corrode our facts away

Switch! You can’t turn it off
Once it exists then it’s here to stay
Switch! The circuitry’s wrong
We have to destroy if we want to save

Fear what you hear when the switch is on
Time changes minds but it comes too late
