This new look becomes you society
shiny and new, ready for pillaging
ready to be torn at the hems
ready to destroy the soft body below
human, what you call me
but do you always agree
isn't it a fact that you'll defeat the notion
plugged into your system of repulsion (revulsion)
The network connects, yes it true
but how to go about the disconnection
Ah there's the rub
we all join the club but death is the price of defection
this new suit becomes you society
but take a look in your own glass
you won't pass for a viable living thing
you'll just reflect your own shit
a mold has been created
that churns out humans like you
people are now digital signals
open to interpretation
the network connects, yes it's true
but the price is you and your so called identity
ah, there's the catch, that if you touch the latch to the exit door
you beg for punishment
but really punishment's the price of acceptance,
and you keep punishing yourself.
For what?
