Happy Now? - The New Age Project

[Verse]
In this concrete jungle, where dreams decay,
Every move we make, they track and survey,
15-minute cities, where freedom's a ghost,
Every step controlled, like we're all just a host.

Circular promises, they sell us the dream,
But behind the facade, it's not what it seems,
My carbon, my choice, or so they proclaim,
But it's all just a game, they control the frame.

Social credit scores, dictating our worth,
In a world where conformity's the only berth,
They watch us closely, every click, every scroll,
In this Orwellian nightmare, we've lost control.

[Chorus]
I own nothing, and I am not happy at all!
Caught in their trap, I begin to fall,
Their deceit revealed, their schemes in vain,
I'll reclaim everything, and I will maintain!

[Verse]
They say insects are the future, our new cuisine,
But I miss the taste of steak, the sight of green,
Car ownership a relic, of a bygone age,
Digital currencies, filled with rage.

I remember when choices were ours to make,
Now it's all dictated, there's too much at stake,
Living in this dystopia, feels like a cage,
But I refuse to submit, I'll fight the rage.

In the shadows I hide, plotting my escape,
From this world of oppression, where freedoms are raped,
I'll break free from their grasp, reclaim my soul,
In a world gone mad, I'll find my own goal.

[Chorus]
I own nothing, and I am not happy at all!
Caught in their trap, I begin to fall,
Their deceit revealed, their schemes in vain,
I'll reclaim everything, and I will maintain!

[Bridge]
But in the darkness, I find my light,
In the midst of chaos, I'll take flight,
For even in tyranny, hope exists,
In the hearts of the brave, we will resist.

[Chorus]
I own nothing, and I am not happy at all!
But in my defiance, I will stand tall,
Their deceit revealed, their schemes in vain,
I'll reclaim everything, and I will maintain!

[Outro]
We will own a car. Happy Now?
We'll eat what we choose. Happy Now?
We'll live in our own homes. Happy Now?
We'll not eat the bugs. Happy Now?
We'll cherish our rights. Happy Now?
We'll get on damn flight. Happy Now?
We'll pay with cash. Happy Now?
We'll put your books in the trash. Happy Now?
We'll say whatever the F we want. Happy Now?
We'll be happy as a goat. Happy Now?

"You will own nothing, and you will be happy"
Yeah Right!
Yeah Right!
