lyrics

They say this is the biggest thing in history
That we're here in the centre of it
to play our part
to shape their world.
Forging futures with momentous virtual clicks

Virtual machines built by modern slavery
Tiny fingered, obedient peon
trained to make consumer grade
Virtual machines built by modern slavery
these bloodstained circuits give you

A world, pristine, everything right at your finger tips
turn on, login and drop out
But their plight's on screen
the realities of foreign seas
Placated with clickbait petitions and faux charities

Virtual machines built by modern slavery
Tiny fingered, obedient peon
trained to make consumer grade
Virtual machines built by modern slavery
these bloodstained circuits what do they take away?

A future coming where the first world will feel the kiss of poverty
And if you think these drones will save you, you'll end up on your knees
