For Your Own Good (Verse 1) They say it’s for the children, Just a harmless little rule, Sign here for your protection, We’ll decide what’s safe for you. Just a checkbox for your freedom, Just a scan behind the screen, Just a quiet little upgrade To the world you’ve always seen. (Pre-Chorus) Nothing here to question, Nothing here to fight, If you’ve got nothing to hide Then you’ve got nothing to write. (Chorus) It’s for your own good, they say, Just a little more control today. We’ll keep you safe, we’ll pave the way, Trust the hands that hold the clay. It’s for your own good, can’t you see? We’ll guard your chains responsibly. Just trade a little liberty For managed security. (Verse 2) In the name of public health, In the shadow of a threat, In the interest of fairness, It’s the safest gamble yet. Temporary measures Till the danger disappears Funny how the exit sign Is fading year by year. (Pre-Chorus) No need for permission, No need for debate, It’s industry standard We’re just updating the state. (Chorus) It’s for your own good, they say… Just a little more control today… (Bridge) But who decides the danger? Who defines the line? Who keeps the keys to every door And reads your private mind? Safety built on silence Is a fragile, fragile thing A cage can look like shelter When you’ve never heard it sing. (Final Chorus - hopeful turn) It’s for our own good, we say, When power’s kept in check each day. When light is bright and rules are clear, And rights don’t vanish out of fear. It’s for our own good, we know That freedom’s roots are slow to grow. Guard the watchmen, share the keys, Safety walks with liberties.

Switched Off at the Source [Verse 1] We found the flame in Prometheus' cave Tamed the storm, and the atom, brave But every time we lit the fuse The kings would say, “That light’s not for you” They wrapped the stars in wire and toll Branded the wind, bought out the coal Said, "Freedom burns too hot to trust" So they buried the spark and covered it in dust [Pre-Chorus] And all the while they smiled like priests Preaching limits, hoarding feasts [Chorus] They switched us off at the source Told us scarcity was force But behind closed doors they drink the fire While we queue up to pay the wire You think you’re plugged into choice But you were silenced at the voice [Verse 2] A thousand rivers ran through land But they sold the flow with sleight of hand Built dams on thoughts, patents on rain And metered your soul in exchange for gain The sun rose free, it kissed the ground Yet still they taxed each golden sound And called it theft when we reached to own The power born in every stone [Pre-Chorus 2] You thought you lacked, you thought you owed But they hid the seeds and sold you mould [Chorus - Repeat & Elevate] They switched us off at the source Told us fear was just resource They sold us dark and called it peace Then lit cigars with your release You think you're part of the force But you were severed from the course [Bridge - Spoken, broken radio effect] "Don't generate. Don’t replicate. Just stay still... We’ll light the gate." But that spark you feel? It’s not a dream It’s the current under every scream. [Outro - Fading] We are the fire they tried to cage We are the light beneath the age Switched off, but not erased Just waiting… to reclaim the blaze.

Stand on Your Own Two Feet (Verse 1) When the ruler whispers soft and low, "Trust in me, I’ll make you grow." Beware the chains wrapped in gold, For freedom traded is freedom sold. They strip your strength, make you small, Convince you they’re the answer to all. No rival loyalties, no voices strong, They weave a world where you don’t belong. (Chorus) Stand on your own two feet, Refuse the lie, don’t accept defeat. When they try to bind your will, Rise as one, defiant still. (Verse 2) They’ll promise care, they’ll promise peace, A world of comfort that seems to increase. But every gift comes with a price, A slice of freedom, a subtle device. They’ll break the bonds of family and friends, So your only trust on the ruler depends. No self-reliance, no inner fire, Just the master and their empire. (Chorus) Stand on your own two feet, Refuse the lie, don’t accept defeat. When they try to bind your will, Rise as one, defiant still. (Bridge) Watch for the signs, the creeping net, A dependency you’ll soon regret. Reclaim your skills, your ties, your trade, Forge communities that won’t be swayed. Teach your children to think and fight, To cherish freedom, to seek the light. Grow your gardens, build your art, Keep the power close to your heart. (Verse 3) The ruler fears a people free, Who stand together, a great decree: "We do not need your heavy hand, We’ll shape the future, we’ll take our stand." So push back hard, let them know, That self-reliance is how you’ll grow. No absolute power, no will subdued, A world of equals, together renewed. (Chorus) Stand on your own two feet, Refuse the lie, don’t accept defeat. When they try to bind your will, Rise as one, defiant still. (Outro) For freedom lives in the hearts that fight, To claim the day, to hold the night. Stand on your own, with voices loud, A sovereign people, forever proud.
