Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
They’ve taken all your data, and they’ve given it a name
A simple little number, in a cold and cruel game
It knows the books you read at night, it knows the posts you share
It calculates your value, and it tells you if it’s fair

[Pre-Chorus]
And with a single digit, they can turn the lights off in your town
A silent, swift decision, while you’re staring at the ground
No judge and no jury, no day in a court
Just a line of faulty code of a particularly cruel sort

[Chorus]
This is the Algorithm of You
A frozen, heartless point of view
They think they’ve got you sorted, filed, and understood
But your flesh and blood is screaming, ‘cause it’s never, ever good!

[Verse 2]
You took a trip on Tuesday, outside your approved zone
Your score dipped by a hundred points, a chill down to the bone
Now the train won’t take your payment, the supermarket’s closed
You’re living in the shadow of the data they exposed

[Bridge]
You are not a number, you are not a line of code
You are a living story on a desperate, winding road
And every system ever built by arrogant, foolish men
Will always, always shatter and break itself again!

[Guitar/Synth Solo - Atmospheric and defiant]

[Outro]
[Final chorus, vocals become more layered and determined]
This is the Algorithm of You... (But I am more than you)
A frozen, heartless point of view... (I am breaking through!)
They think they’ve got me sorted, filed, and understood...
But my flesh and blood is screaming, that it’s never, ever good!
[Music cuts abruptly]
