Lyrics
Change The Locks
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Indiscernible identity
So many passing by, she seems
Silver sprayed living statue
She stands watching the absurdity
The idea of self is a placebo
Run the data, it knows where you go
I'm a construct
Oh, I'm a suspect but don't want it known
Change the locks, the system's down
They say everyone's a suspect now
Don't have to change the locks, we can change our minds
Smoke signals wake the drones in the hive
Do what you want, you won't be found out
You'll never be held to account
We're just getting static on the line
A broken voice says everything's fine
You and a friend could be our guest
At our request, come and fine dine
It's our gift for you to celebrate
The last of the mall's great redesign
Change the locks, the system's down
They say everyone's a suspect now
Change the locks, don't change the plan
They're applauding me, but [?]
The kings of comedy
The kings of comedy
Bang, bang on the drum
Bang, bang on the drum
Bang, bang, but we just didn't see it
Change the locks, the system's down
They say everyone's a suspect now
Don't have to change the locks, we can change our minds
Smoke signals wake the drones in the hive
