Ghost Matrix - Coded Out Lyrics

[Intro]
Dead-end jobs and binary lies
Watch the system eat us alive
My pops thought tech was on his side
Now we're all just waiting to die

[Verse 1]
Daddy worked IT back in '99
Thought that shit would keep him alive
Now the system's taking control
Watching algorithms eat his soul
Got replaced by lines of code
Twenty years just down the road
F*ck your résumé, they don't care
AI scanning everywhere
My homies losing jobs each day
While these machines just make their pay
Silicon dreams turn nightmares quick
When you're obsolete, that shit gets sick

[Chorus]
They're killing us softly with automation
Dead man walking in this digital nation
Watching my future fade to black
These machines ain't giving nothing back
(Nothing back, nothing back)

[Verse 2]
Remember when skills meant something real?
Now we're just data points they steal
Got my degree, but what's it worth?
When robots run this f*cking earth
Seeing friends get pushed aside
Their careers just suicide
Corporate bloodbath, no disguise
Watch the stock price f*cking rise
My generation's going broke
While these startups blow their smoke
Dad's experience means jack shit
When AI can learn quick

[Bridge]
System error, human deleted
Game over, we're depleted
Watch us fade into the void
Young professionals destroyed

[Verse 3]
Every job listing's the same
AI gatekeepers playing games
Scan my face, check my tone
Analyze me to the bone
Mom says "keep your head up high"
But she don't know these demons inside
Seeing everyone fall apart
While these machines just play it smart
F*ck your empathy and soul
When efficiency's the goal
We're just numbers on their screen
In this techno killing machine

[Chorus]
They're killing us softly with automation
Dead man walking in this digital nation
Watching my future fade to black
These machines ain't giving nothing back
(Nothing back, nothing back)

[Outro]
Just another ghost in their matrix
Another soul that they wasted
Watch us disappear tonight
In this cold digital light
(Digital light, digital light...)
