Luca Rosso - Code of Silence Lyrics

[Intro]
Nonna's kitchen table, secrets passed like bread
Silicon Valley's just a family, that's what they said
Omertà in binary, algorithms sealed tight
Some things stay in-house, yeah that's how we survive

[Verse 1]
Uncle's rules at Sunday dinner, don't you dare speak up
Tech bros in their boardrooms, same shit different cup
Watched my cousin take the fall, family honor's what they preach
Now I'm watching CEOs get fired while their lawyers teach
The art of keeping quiet, NDAs like family vows
Marco took the heat that day, showed me what loyalty allows
But loyalty's a double-edged sword when truth's at stake
How many skeletons you hiding in that database?

[Chorus]
Don't snitch, don't switch, keep your mouth shut tight
Family secrets, server logs, buried out of sight
Blood is thicker than water, but money's thicker than both
Tech companies or family ties, same damn loyalty oath

[Verse 2]
OpenAI's dramatic exit, like Uncle Joe's divorce
Everyone pretending shit ain't happening, of course
Grandma's saying "everything's fine" through gritted teeth
While Altman's playing musical chairs with the board beneath
Family dinner or board meeting, same performance art
Keep appearances pristine while we're falling apart
They say blood runs deep but data runs deeper still
Trading family trauma for some venture capital thrill

[Bridge]
Nonna's stories hide the truth between the lines
Just like PR statements crafted oh so fine
Both designed to keep the power where it stays
Through generations of the same old plays

[Verse 3]
Got me thinking 'bout Marco, loyal to the end
While whistleblowers get blacklisted, can't work again
Family name or company brand, protect at all costs
Count the bodies buried before the truth gets lost
Silicon Valley's just Little Italy with code
Same old power games, just a different episode
Watching uncles silence cousins at the feast
While tech bros silence ethics for the shareholders' peace

[Outro]
So pass the pasta, pass the lies
Keep the family name clean under Silicon skies
'Cause whether it's data or DNA
The truth stays buried either way
