The Machine Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I am not republican, I am not a liberal
Why the hell can't I just be American without getting political?
The system gon' suppress us all, they don't care about the cost
How's this a democracy when we got communists in charge?
Cancel culture, Nazis, all they're missing is the swastikas
Honestly, this is a psychological holocaust
Pumpin' propaganda through the screen and straight into your brain
You ain't on a plantation, but you definitely still a slave
Race theory is indoctrinating children
Tell blacks they're disadvantaged, tell whites they got white privilege
What a brilliant way to reinforce division
If whites believe they have it easy they will never help you fight the system
And now they burnin' books in untraditional ways
They just traded newspapers for the digital age
Now the facts can be deleted with no physical flames
They just change the information and the truth gets erased
[Chorus]
They keep screamin' to wake up, but they're all woke, not awake
We know the system has failed us, and all the media's fake
I swear the government hates us, having opinions is dangerous
The system built to enslave us only works if we're afraid

[Verse 2]
I am not republican, I am not a liberal
Progressive and traditional are hitmen hired to kill the individual
They label people red or blue, divide us, they don't ever help
They want you thinkin' left or right so you ain't thinkin' for yourself
Go ahead and vote 'cause both the parties are the same side
Two teams, one coach, controlled by the same guys
Left-wing, right-wing, both help the same bird fly
Brainwashing everybody at the same time
The internet was once a place that we could get our facts from
Now it's been monopolized, it's Google or it's Amazon
Who fact-checking the fact-checkers, I can answer that one
The people who control the narratives through the platforms Let me break this down for you simple as I can, 'kay
They use social conditioning to put you in the rat race
It doesn't matter if you're first or third, or if you're last place
You're still a rat, and they're the cats who kill you so you can't escape

[Chorus]
They keep screamin' to wake up, but they're all woke, not awake
We know the system has failed us, and all the media's fake
I swear the government hates us, having opinions is dangerous
The system built to enslave us only works if we're afraid
[Verse 3]
I am not republican, I am not a liberal
I am just a man who knows they're scared of a nation that's thinking critical
They kill us or they lock us up for nothing like we're criminals
Divide us 'cause they know that unified we are invincible
Questioning the government's agenda's controversial
But promoting guns and liquor in our music is commercial?
They're confusing us with pronouns they made up to make us triggered
You can call me what you want, but just don't call me late for dinner
School teaches you to learn and never teaches you to think
So you absorb misinformation, then you practice what they preach
You ain't free, can't you see? That's how they want you to act
That's called conforming to the norm, you don't need freedom for that
I'm not republican or liberal or left-wing or right-leaning
I took the red pills 'cause that's what's fighting for my freedoms
And you don't need to choose to be accepted they build fake teams
Evil runs the world now like hell ain't got no vacancy

[Chorus]
They keep screamin' to wake up, but they're all woke, not awake
We know the system has failed us, and all the media's fake
I swear the government hates us, having opinions is dangerous
The system built to enslave us only works if we're afraid
