The Data Stream (feat. Cami-Cat)

Eventually all walls meet demolition

So Wall Street

Had to keep the tradition

Their financial systems resigned to ignition

And out of the ashes,we have arisen

An empire is forged in the fire of ambition

In business there isn't the time for attrition

Invest to suppress

Then ingest competition

Then each acquisition

Is new ammunation

When governments crumble and fall to the floor

That was paved with the graves

Of a corporate war

A fundament funded in blood just to shore

A foundation for founding our covenant

Born of a need for control of societal entropy

Enterprise at the price of your indemnity

Chart out the course

And of course you were meant to be

Bend to the will

Of a corporate entity

Arasaka Security

You're in safe hands

We're the light in your screens

We're the lead in your veins

Then you wake from your dreams

So we can sell them again

In the light we distract

With the shiny and new

So you're blind to the fact

That the product is you

So let your

!BRAIN DANCE!

And replay the dream

BUT

Don't drown in the data stream

'Cause we see where you are

And we see where you go

'Cause we know what you own

And we own what you know

From the top of all our towers

The corridors of power clearly need rewiring

Arasaka saw the spark

And then embarked upon the path

To turn that spark to the lightning

There's no autonomous megalopolis

So populous or prosperous you could reside in

And every citizen that's living in this city

Is a digit on the charts we're climing

Political systems are too inefficient

They split like the atom

And burned in the fission

Now every department

And every decision

Defer to the herds of our corporate divisions

If you don't remember the ballot you cast

It's printed on every receipt you were passed

Each time you selected

Our products and services

We were elected

In each of your purchases

What's left to do

When you've got the monopoly?

Turn the consumer into the commodity

It isn't hard where you've hardware neurology

Honestly.Do read the company policy

Take information and trade it for wealth

You pay it in each augmentation we sell

It's easy to cut out the middle man

When he's cut out most of himself

Arasaka Finance

Investing in you future

We're the light in your screens

We're the lead in your veins

Then you wake from your dreams

So we can sell them again

In the light we distract

With the shiny and new

So you're blind to the fact

That the product is you

So let your

!!BRAIN DANCE!!

And replay the dream

BUT

Don't drown in the data stream

'Cause we see where you are

And we see where you go

'Cause we know what you own

And we own what you know

All that you say on the net we composite

To maps that go straight

From you head to you pocket

Complain if you want

You're still making deposits of data

Each day you log on is a profit

Society currently lists electronic

So isn't conducting resistance ironic?

We're plenty of skeletons

Locked in your closets

But yours are assembled

From old-stock hydraulics

So lucky we know just the pieces you need

All plucked from you social media feeds

The places you go

And the posts that you read

All snatched for a new algorithm to feed

Now holding our gold isn't par for the brand

Our silver is sat in the palm of you hand

Quit whining and sign

On the line in the sand

The supply does not

Get to make the demands

'Cause we know what you own

When guiding the hand of the market

If it's holding a cheque or a gun

The fingers go deep in you pockets

And you can live under the thumb

You seem so surprised

What did you expect?

We' re thinking outside

Of that box that you checked

The terms were presented in full to inspect

You scrolled to the end

Just to get to 'accept'
