lyrics

I've got a ghost
It's the words I spoke
And the steps I took
And the lines I wrote.
I never chose
Haunted by my own memories
Reanimated by the thieves
Vying for control of me

And I'm asking: "Why? Why are we OK? Why are we OK with this?"

I can't be bought
I can't be owned
But you read my letters and you bugged my phone
When will it stop?

I feel it coming...
All you care about is moving numbers, all those moving numbers.

Dystopia Now!
Why are we OK with this?
