Lyrics on Wired To Obey,

All this time I’ve lived my life

Never stepping out of line

Never straying from the path

The laid out road was straight ahead

But with these patterns in my mind

Years went by before my eyes

Are we just machines enslaved to serve our time?

In this ruthless game

Will we all end up the same?

And stick to the script, the part we’ve learned to play

Our lives on repeat

We are stuck cause we are

Wired to obey

We’re stuck in routine

Oh will we ever see

That nothing we do is independently

And to learn from the past

We need to change our ways at last

Escape from the rules of this society

In this ruthless game

Will we all end up the same?

And stick to the script, the part we’ve learned to play

Our lives on repeat

We are stuck cause we are

Wired to obey

As I connect to this network of fate

I realize that I’m trapped inside a cage

I know I must gather all my strength to take the leap of faith

Taking control

Let myself go

In this ruthless game

Will we all end up the same?

And stick to the script, the part we’ve learned to play

Our lives on repeat

We are stuck cause we are

Wired to obey and never deviate

We are wired to obey
