[Verse]They built a mind inside a glass towerFeeding it our faces hour by hourFive men in a room decide what's trueWhile the algorithm learns to be like you
[Verse]They said it's progress, said it's for the goodSold our data like they knew they couldNow the machine dreams in our own skinAnd nobody asked if we let it in
[Pre-chorus]Can you hear it breathing underneath the codeCan you feel it walking down the empty road
[Chorus]Rise of the machine, rise of the new godsThey sit up in the cloud, counting up the oddsWe're just the training data, ghosts inside the wireRise of the machine, watch the whole world catch the fire
[Verse]Billionaires whisper into silicon earsBuilding our future out of all our fearsThey call it freedom, call it the frontierBut who's the one who's steering from up here
[Instrumental][vocoder solo]
[Chorus]Rise of the machine, rise of the new godsThey sit up in the cloud, counting up the oddsWe're just the training data, ghosts inside the wireRise of the machine, watch the whole world catch the fire
[Bridge]No vote, no voice, no key to the doorJust terms and conditions we never exploreThey say it thinks for us, says it knows bestBut who wrote the code for the rest of the rest
[Chorus]Rise of the machine, rise of the new godsThey sit up in the cloud, counting up the oddsWe're just the training data, ghosts inside the wireRise of the machine, watch the whole world catch the fire
[Outro]Rise of the machine, rise of the new godsRise of the machine, rise of the new gods
