Lyrics ~ Transformation Album
Every word I speak is recorded, every sound analysed
It’s like the system knows how to control me
Wired to the grid
Wired to the all seeing eye
Wired, wired
A L E X A S I R I
Programmed to listen to observe
Never stops recording, never goes to sleep
Gathers information, while we dream, while we dream
We’re wired to the grid
Wired to the all seeing eye
Wired, wired
Wired to the universal
Every word I speak is recorded, every sound analysed
It’s like the system knows how to control me
Never stops recording, never goes to sleep
Gathers information, while we dream, while we dream
Wired to the grid
Wired to the all seeing eye
Wired, why, why, why, why, wired
Wired to you
Wired to me
To the universal
To the universal
Wired, wired
To the grid
Its like the system knows how to control me
Every word I speak is recorded
Every sound analysed
Wired
We’re wired to the grid
Wired to the all seeing eye
Wired, why, why, why, why, wired
Why Why why why, wired to the grid
Wired to the all seeing eye
Wired, wired
