Who do you pretend to be To please everyone? Who are you imitating now? I’ve heard the same story Long before this one You are nothing but a copy of it So are you neo or post? Remade for love Oh oh Funny Or maybe you don’t want to know It was done before Oh oh And we go round and round Update Upload Oh Are you fake or real? Are you friend or foe? Oh oh Tell me who made you up Was it you or someone else? Whose shadow is behind your back? Maybe I’m cynical But you shouldn't be surprised You are not the first to make this promise So are you neo or post? Remade for love Oh oh Funny Or maybe you don’t want to know It was done before Oh oh And we go round and round Update Upload Oh Are you fake or real? Are you friend or foe? Oh oh Who is behind the filter? Who’s behind the mask? How much of yourself is left in you? Or maybe you're a collection Of everything I want And you've been customised for my desires So are you neo or post? Remade for love Oh oh Funny Or maybe you don’t want to know It was done before Oh oh And we go round and round Update Upload

Wow, you’ve just exploded Haven’t realised In a place like this you must Watch your step all the time I guess it was that word Or your stream of thoughts Maybe you should know the world Has changed since our last talk A bit more And now your nightmare is coming true The crowd pounces upon you And you can’t escape We are polarised We are atomised Maybe you should know Someone Wanted to make us fight One another We have lost the sense of community Racing past each other Disconnected No, you don’t have to try To deny It’s not your place to be anymore No, you don’t have to try To deny it’s not your fight it’s not your war It is now.

So What’s it like To stick your head in the sand To choose ignorance "I've nothing to hide," you say "It’s all okay and fine" Being tracked Being parsed Being mined Modified Being used Being searched Being lied to Monetised All that we’ve got Is not for free at all When this life for everyone becomes too hard What we must give in return is a bit too much Mass control 84 Brave New World I’m Free Raw I’m Free Raw Material At your service, Sir We have the right to defend ourselves We have the right to not accept Self-consciousness - this is where we could start Being constantly Assessed Profiled Sorted Measured JUST CHOKE ON IT AT LAST! I’ve nothing to hide I simply hate your style But I know I’ve failed again There’s numbness on my face Mass control 84 Brave New World I’m Free Raw I’m Free Raw Material I have nothing to hide

It wasn’t my best day, today I came back full of anger Data transfer to my brain I assume It was not perfect Letters showed up on the screen Testing knowledge acquisition Black was white and white was black Fake dreams Alternative visions Headline drew attention Then I lost my temper Again Miscommunication Everyday life-long experience In a constant lie In a constant lie I live Cannot separate Days from nights Crowd psychology went well I relieved all my frustration Contributed to destroying Probably Another innocent soul Headline drew attention Then I lost my temper Again In a constant lie In a constant lie I live Cannot separate Days from nights In a constant lie In a constant lie I live Can no longer tell Days from nights

I’ve tried different ways So many times I’ve tried to run away Hide behind makeup And when I felt this time it would be okay You grabbed me by the hair and threw into the same cage Again You are classified Do not even try (you said) No one will believe you Just like I believed you, my love Do not play with fire I’ve tried many times In different ways To get out from the drawer With your favourite tag And when I felt this time it would be all right You decided to lead me on your "right path” Teach me humility You are classified Do not even try (you said) I loved you So you need to feel my hate for you now You asked for it yourself *** I went out into the street Wasn’t here for a long time Everyone’s divided Extreme right or extreme left That’s the only choice And this goddamn anger Coming from every corner I am not surprised Not happy either Because how much can you bear being fucking lied to Give me another sentence And remember that it should be smart To make me stop To cool me down But maybe I don’t want to wait for better times Maybe I don’t want to listen to what’s best for me When I will try Another pop-philosopher Tells you how you should live By starting from getting to know yourself Wow, BFD, indeed Tell me something I don’t know about Tell me something that doesn’t sound Like you just finished high school And learned by heart A few well-known quotes from your favourite browser Give me another sentence And remember that it should be smart To make me stop To cool me down But maybe I don’t want to take another pill Maybe meditation app is not for me Maybe I don’t need your coaching course Hearing that is all my fault For it matters Where I was born And where I live What’s my gender What’s the colour of my skin We don’t have equal chances Everything doesn’t depend on me No, oh no Stop saying that Stop saying that Stop saying that *** The place where I belong A bit of my own accord When I feel calm and comfortable Where I don't care anymore If you believe my words Yes, I am tired of your requirements When your bar is set too high I’m sorry, I’m getting out Of this race Don’t want to take my part When your bar is set too high I’m sorry, I’m checking out Of this race Don’t want to share my part I don’t have to be the best Feel pressure all the time „The winner takes it all” is not my thing Stop comparing me To someone else’s dreams Let me stay in the place where I belong For your bar is set too high I’m sorry, I’m getting out Of this race Don’t want to take my part For your bar is set too high I’m sorry, I’m checking out Of this race Don’t want to share my part For your bar is set too high I’m sorry, I’m getting out Of this race Don’t want to take my part

I told myself I don’t need it Scrolling watching reading I told myself I don’t need it To know what kind of world we live in I shut myself off from The whole broken world I told myself I don’t need it That this is not any of my concern But the truth is that I cannot live without you And I should do something Cannot just stand and watch I told myself I don’t need it And I can numb this feeling And I can hole up deep in the woods Far from everyone And then I realised I’d lived in self-denial And didn’t even try To understand To recognise Just want to be close to you I want to feel you close to me I want to be close to you I’m sick and tired Of our fighting On a minefield Of the social distance warnings The future is in our hands But first Let’s Unsubscribe the ones who make us hostile Unsubscribe the ones who make us hostile Unsubscribe the ones who make us hostile I want to feel you close to me Cause I still believe I will find the answer But I already know I need you for The feeling of Being complete for the first time But the truth is that I cannot live without you And I should do something Cannot just stand and watch I told myself I don’t need it Scrolling watching reading I told myself I don’t need it To know what kind of world we live in And then I realised I’d lived in self-denial And didn’t even try To understand To recognise Just want to be close to you I want to feel you close to me I want to be close to you Being complete for the first time
