Lyrics To A Radiohead-Like Song Called ‘New Model Army’

Verse 1:
(Sparse, haunting)
The algorithms march in perfect time
Binary heartbeats, synchronized
Upload your conscience to the cloud
The revolution will not be loud

We are the new model army
Plastic soldiers in a plastic war
Fighting for a future that we’ll never see
Through cameras we have never been before

Verse 2:
(Building tension)
Disconnect the phone lines
Burn the old regime
They promised us connection
But we’re drowning in the screen

Your data is your weapon
Your privacy, the cost
We’re all just ghosts in the machine now
Everything beautiful is lost

Chorus:
(Explosive, distorted)
New model army
Marching through the digital rain
New model army
Nothing will ever be the same
We are the glitch in the system
We are the error in the code
New model army
On the information superhighway road

Verse 3:
(Paranoid, fragmented)
They’re watching through your laptop
They’re listening through your phone
Every click is ammunition
Every byte brings us closer to the throne

The servers hum their lullabies
While children learn to code
Democracy.exe has crashed
Now we’re traveling down a different road

Bridge:
(Quiet, building)
Reboot
Restart
Delete
Repeat
The new model army
Never admits defeat

(Crescendo)
We are the future
We are the past
We are the question
That you never asked

Final Chorus:
(Chaotic, overlapping vocals)
New model army
Marching through the digital rain
New model army
Washing away the analog stain
We are the virus in the system
We are the truth behind the lies
New model army
Watch the old world die

Outro:
(Fading, robotic)
System update complete
Please restart your device
The new model army
Requires your sacrifice

Beep… beep… beep…
(Silence)
