lyrics

I was down at rock bottom
When a voice said in my head
“You’re not strong enough alone
Go ahead and join the pack”

The collective system takes me by the hand
Their behavior patterns take over command

In a supraorganism
No one will step out of line
Like a flawless mechanism
Decisions by a hive mind

I feel like I’m no longer responsible
No more thinking as an individual

I’ve lost my free will
Choices are made for me
I’m forced to deskill
No uniquity
Sheep in wolf’s clothing
Hidden duality
As one, imposing
Apart, mediocrity - the swarm intelligence

We each play a defined role
Perfectly functionalized
Blinded sheep under control
Don’t think, don’t criticize

Nothing more than a small cog in the wheel
No freedom of will is left to think or feel

I’ve lost my free will
Choices are made for me
I’m forced to deskill
No uniquity
Sheep in wolf’s clothing
Hidden duality
As one, imposing
Apart, mediocrity - the swarm intelligence
