DIGITAL SLAVERY



DIGITAL THIS
AND DIGITAL THAT ,
OTHERWISE KNOWN 
AS DIGITAL CRAP.

JUST AN ILLUSION 
IF YOU CAN'T HOLD IT
JUST A DREAM
TO THINK YOU OWN IT.

THE LIGHTS GO OUT
THE DREAM IS GONE.
YOUR LEFT STANDING
ASKING WHAT WENT WRONG.

TRACK AND TRACE
OUT OF YOUR HANDS
FORCED TO PAY 
ON DEMAND.

REFUSE TO PAY
YOU'RE DENIED. 
AUTO RESTRICTIONS 
SIMPLY APPLIED. 

OUT OF CONTROL
THAT'S THE FEELING.
DIGITAL CHAOS 
IS WHAT THEIR DEALING.

MANIPULATED 
TO SAY AND DO
SHOULD BE A WARNING 
OR AT LEAST A CLUE.

THE DIGITAL WORLD 
YOU'RE EITHER IN OR OUT.
IF YOU'RE ON THE FENCE 
YOU'RE IN DOUBT.

AUTONOMY MEANS 
TO GOVERN YOURSELF 
TO HOLD THE KEYS
TO YOUR FUTUE AND WEALTH 

LIVING A LIFE 
THAT'S  NOT CONTROLLED 
HAS A VALUE WORTH
MORE THAN GOLD.
