All I Want By Gordz — 1). — !!., — X — Track's Like This!!.

Populist movements often claim to represent “the people,” but this definition can be exclusionary, marginalising those who do not fit a certain demographic or ideological mould. As a British-born Black person who respects diversity and supports LGBTQ+ rights, it is natural to question one’s place in a society where such movements gain traction. This essay explores the effectiveness of appeasement in dealing with populism, examines Reform UK’s policies and their vision for the UK, and reflects on historical parallels with 1930s Germany, all from the perspective of a Black British individual.

[Verse 1]
(I do) I love you, BBC
I do, but you exploit me
I do, you ask me keep quiet
I do, but I must riot

[Chorus]
You take advantage while
They hang me out to dry
But I can't keep quiet tonight
Free (I do)

[Verse 2]
(I do) I'm just a working man
I do, not a saintly fan
I do, Jamaican ruffian
I do, face your strict command

[Chorus]
You take advantage while
They spread their hate around
But I can't hold my tongue tonight
Free


[Verse 3]
(I do) What must I do to prove
I do, to make you love me too
I do, you educate me still
I do, but need to feel

[Chorus]
You take advantage while
They hang me out to dry
But I can't keep quiet tonight
No, I can't keep quiet tonight
Free

[Outro]
I do
I do
I do
I do

You Take Advantage

"Love Is All I Need" fuses the infectious energy of UK garage breakbeats and reese bass with the emotional depth of indie songwriting and the expansive soundscapes of melodic techno. The result is a uniquely cathartic dancefloor moment that speaks to both the heart and feet—perfectly bridging the gap between crying on the dancefloor and peak-time euphoria.


Love Is All I Need

All I Want

[Verse 1]
Save your love, my darling, save your love
Even though you're far away from me
A serenade I long to sing you
Love like ours will last eternally
How it felt to love and hold you
Darling, I will love you endlessly
For summer nights with moon and stars above
(I can't forget the words I told you)
(Save your love)
I can't forget the words I told you

[Refrain]
How it felt to love and hold you
The reddest rose I always bring you
(The reddest rose I always bring you)
How it felt to love and hold you
(How it felt to love and hold you)
(How it felt to love and hold you)

[Verse 2]
Time zones blur, but I still feel your pulse,
Late-night streams where our emotions convulse.
No Wi-Fi in this devotion—
We’re the ultimate slow motion.
(Save your love) ‘Cause chaos can’t dissolve us.

[Bridge]
Distance tried, but we’re still synced in time,
Your laugh’s my ringtone, stuck on replay, in rhyme.
No glitch in this connection—
We’re the viral exception.
Save your love, ‘cause baby, you’re my prime.

[Chorus]
Save your love, my darling, save your love,
For every crash and every rise above.
A million DMs just to reach you,
My heart’s the algorithm to teach you—
Save your love for the us we’re dreaming of.

[Post-Chorus]
(Whoa-oh, save your love for me)
(Whoa-oh, our infinity)
(Whoa-oh, you’re my gravity)
(Whoa-oh, save your love for me)

[Outro]
(Save your love) Through screen-lit skies, I trace your name,
(Save your love) Our highs outshine the static, no shame.
(Save your love) Like a drop that breaks the silence,
(Save your love) You’re my future in 4K defiance—
(Save your love) Save your love.

Save Your Love

#309 Profound Radio Progressive House @djstuwilson

On ‘Just Like a Flower,’ the debut solo EP from the Cathedrals producer, Johnny Hwin explores a more intimate, vocal-based form of his trademark dance music. After leaving his San Francisco art warehouse The Sub for New York City, he established another community space and the new label 57 Records. “Love Is All I Need” grew out of “a melody that wouldn’t let me sleep,” he says, while “You’re Still On My Mind” is a “sad song dressed in disco pants.” Hear more in this exclusive commentary, only on SoundCloud.

Voice Notes: HWIN on "Love Is All I Need"

Remix and interpolation of Teenage Fantasy by Jorja Smith https://soundcloud.com/jorjasmith/teenage-fantasy?si=dea40b695c024f5dab8d4489d0b60f3b&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

Fantasy (Dance Version)

[Chorus]
Ain't no question that I need it, I breathe it
Feel my legacy just slipping away from me
On the Overground, so why you faking? I'm saying
I will never let these concrete walls fall down, down, down

Not for nothing, I foresaw this, I dreamed it
Feel my future slowly drifting away from me
No more chances, if you waste this, you’re faithless
I will never let these concrete walls fall down, down, down

[Verse 1]
Council estate chances, the siren dances
And eventually answers to the call of crisis
All them falling for the talk of balling
Get caught with nothing, the cop just looks indifferent
Inter-city anthems based on inner-city problems
Based off the way that we're painted
Face it, my man gets more stops than a tourist
And in the station, they check right through my bag
And tell me that it's random
But we stay building
This whole scheme is a bad design, it needs a proper ending
And a new funding, and a new feeling
And some real opportunities that's fulfilling
This the real world, brother, school’s finished
They done stole the youth clubs, you don't know who did it
I treat this postcode the way the council treats hope
I won't be satisfied 'til all my people get it, get it?

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Is 'community' a euphemism for a new sedition?
The soul of Windrush that this new youth is missing?
But this is more than just my road to ambition
Gil Okoro got the whole estate locked in attention
Long as I'm in a tracksuit smiling, they think they own me
But they’d try to break me if they ever saw the real me
Thought I chose a field where they couldn't sack me
If a brother ain't kicking a football, winning a track meet
But this king is at the top of Brixton Hill, fearless
Ready for their games, this is my Olympics
They call us Humbaba when the tower gets pimpish
Sprayed a mural on the hoardings with a message
I insisted to get right up off their guest list
And these photo-ops, man, I can’t digest it
Reminds me how they treated my mother, so disrespected
If I ever wasn't for the people, I must have missed it

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I need less talk and more light
And that Home Office minister out of my sight
She told the papers she's trying to clean up the schools
Then sent Project Taurus with their riot-squad rules
It's been a minute since I watched the news
'Cause like a blocked drain, I got way too many blues for any more bad views
Was looking at my brother, feeling real blessed that day
They deploy the Bull of Heaven, now Kofi's yesterday
And what's a Black hero anyway? A fuckin' story?
I guess that's why they got my brother's name in their reports
My man said I need a different resort
'Cause people are looking at me like I’m gonna fall short
It's not a headline anymore, try different tropes
Tell 'em hug and kiss my grief, X and O
And kiss the ring while they at it, build a thing while I got it
Play strings for the tragic ending of that foul shit
Act like I ain't lost a brother in this madness
I ain't got him, I'm building over whoever who had us
I’m building over whoever, who had us
You blowing up our ends, that's good? Fantastic
That, y'all, it's like that, y'all
I don't really give a damn about a wrecking ball
'Cause the same system that tried to blackball me
Forgot about two things: these bricks and my memory

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
Ayy, yo
I done seen plans, lived in vans, fam
Seen vulture funds, empty clubs, steal the land from these hands
Counting Ls, smoking, one hope
Live from the towpath, a Specu-Let bag, grabbing the plans, fuck it
Steam about a hundred and one lives
Kites off to Dawkins, buying time, running up in Bridge Park
That man’s archive was special
Matched every struggle with a victory, fighting policies for decimals
The older head, the bolder head, he trained a leader’s head
Said immortality’s a plant that you must water till you’re dead
That meant code-red, bent off the black smoke
From a burnt-out bus depot, he spoke his oath
If you can't live, you're building, you give or buy in...

Walls of Brixton

[Intro]
Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh
Yeah
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
Let’s go

[Verse 1]
Dime, baby, tell me, is this what you fear?
(Dime, dime, ¿esto es lo que tú temes?)
I’m a new design, this is high-tech tier
You see a clown, a new kid, some cheap fakery
I'm the main event, I'm the code, the key
Got the vision, got the drive, yeah, I got the drive
Build it in the dark just to feel alive
So much data that, that I love it when
You hate my ambition, so I sin again
You don’t get what it’s like to break the code, to own the future
While the flight attendant gives me love up in the stratosphere
What it’s like to bet it all on a single play, no fear
That's why your cold gaze just hits me like zero
That’s why you’re stuck in the past, and me, I’m your new hero
They ain't scholars now, they're just podcasters, babe
My algorithm’s making more than their whole wage
Building and loving across a brand new stage, ey, ey

[Chorus]
Sippin' on codeine, we’re never running low
First came the old guard, then we stole the show
If the future saw me, it'd say I'm built to go
You’re talking old news, while my crew and I fly to Monaco
Sippin' on codeine, we’re never running low
You’re talking to yourself, just talking to the echo
The bitcoin symbol, babe, that’s my new zodiac sign
Light up the night, 'cause your old world is mine

[Interlude:]
Hier encore, j'avais vingt ans
Je caressais le temps, et jouais de la vie...
(Yesterday, I was twenty. I caressed time, and played with life...)

[Verse 2]
Believe me, love, the future’s faster in the flesh
Your cosy clique is pretty, but my world is fresh
What you believe in just don’t impress me now
It's like building a castle after the kings are underground
They don't even see you outside your ivory tower
Yesterday I linked with minds that hold the real power
They asked me how I’m changing up the whole game
We talk about the new world and re-writing every name
I say, the future, I say, the system, I say, our love story
For a minute now, your status quo has only bored me
A while ago I quit their game, I left it for the doddery clowns
Look, a memo to your diary
Today the server paid out, the future nominated me
Once again you criticized me, but your words ain't validating me
I'm still chill, in my zone
Don Corleone, Don anything I wanna own
For the kids we’ll have, I’ll leave a hundred start-up codes
To my queen, all the passion that my heart bestows
And to your hubris, an AI with a virus load

[Pre-Chorus]
For what? So they can fall down, yeah, so they can all shatter
Red pill, blue pill, babe, which one even matters?
For what? So they can fall down, so they can all shatter (all shatter)
Let 'em rest in history, I'm writin' the next chapter, yeah.

[Chorus]
Sippin' on codeine, we’re never running low! (No!)
First came the old guard, then we stole the show
If the future saw me, it'd say I'm built to go
You’re talking old news, while my crew and I fly to Monaco
Sippin' on codeine, we’re never running low
You’re talking to yourself, just talking to the echo
The bitcoin symbol, babe, that’s my new zodiac sign
Light up the night, 'cause your old world is mine

[Outro]
Comme on joue de l'amour, et je vivais la nuit
(As one plays with love, and I lived by night)
Sans compter sur mes jours, qui fuyaient dans le temps...
(Without counting my days, that fled in time...)

Sippin'

(Intro)
Uh
Yeah
The story of life, though
The story of life, though, you know?
Uh

(Chorus)
Put your fists to the constellations
This feeling inside is a dual sensation, uh
I know I'm speaking to the whole congregation
We pray for peace, but you done learned a lot from hatin', haha
I mean, a spirit did a lot of straining
We ain't at peace, but tonight I feel some changing.

(Verse 1)
Let me tell you the tale of the hands of man
A story of good and evil, you gotta understand.
The Left Hand, that's Hate, a heavy, bitter fist
The one that Cain used, a brother's love dismissed.
Static in the air, a world of pure spite
Always spoiling for a brawl in the pale moonlight.
Then you got the Right, the hand of pure Love
Five fingers reaching for the soul, sent from above.
But in this tragic hour, I've seen good people
Make rash decisions, oh, they do it.
What happened to vision? Oh, they lose it.
They putting on their anger, they casually abuse it.
Text message warfare, the casualty of pride
How they gon' wake up and not have love inside?
I thought Hate was the problem, I guess it's rubbin' off
Hood phenomenon, the David of the block.
Hard to stay righteous when you're fighting on a jumbotron
I'm looking at the world like, "This what you really wanted, huh?"
Why we battle anyway? Oh, I forgot, it's humankind's climb.

(Chorus)
Put your fists to the constellations
This feeling inside is a dual sensation, uh
I know I'm speaking to the whole congregation
We pray for peace, but you done learned a lot from hatin', haha
I mean, a spirit did a lot of straining
We ain't at peace, but tonight I feel some changing.

(Verse 2)
When the sun goes down, it's the tragic hour, the tragic hour
And outta all the feelings that'll fill up the soul
You got rage on your mind, I can see it take its toll.
Why you standing there with your face all screwed up?
Don't quit while you're losing, that's how Hate gets juiced up.
Throwin' fists around, the whole world screwed up
Maybe I should call the Lord, so he can pray for us.
I hit the streets to think, at the block, take a seat
Ordered up some peace, she said you are what you eat, haha.
You see, I always loved that sense of truth
But tonight, you should have seen how quiet the youth was.
The Ali of amity, the Frazier of the fight
It's a devastating right, and Hate is losing light.
Hate's on the ropes now, yeah, down for the count
Left hand, malice, K.O.'d, no doubt.
If I love you, I love you, that's the story's end
But if I hate you... well, we can still amend.

(Chorus)
Put your fists to the constellations
This feeling inside is a dual sensation, uh
I know I'm speaking to the whole congregation
We pray for peace, but you done learned a lot from hatin', haha
I mean, a spirit did a lot of straining
We ain't at peace, but tonight I feel some changing.

(Outro)
Lookin' at my Right, I bet it saves your very soul.
Lookin' at my Left, it'll turn your heart to stone.
Two-fisted monster, with a will of its own
Love wins the title, on a cherry-red throne.
Uh.
Peace.

Love vs Hate

[Intro]
Yo, listen close...

[Verse 1]
Private chat, thought it was sealed, then it turned to a raid (Raid!)
Words twisted, exposed and wild, my whole trust just decayed (Damn!)
Leak hit the feed, a profound betrayal, a deep wound they made
Eyes glued to the screen, watching my whole spirit get flayed
Then a big man stepped up, prominent, filled with that hate
Singled me out, presented me as enemy, sealed my damn fate
Amplified the lies, exposed me to the wider public’s gate
Feeling so vulnerable, for my whole family, can't concentrate
Black employee, progressive views, they wanted me done
Targeted for my skin, for the beliefs I’d become, nowhere to run.

[Chorus]
Nah, my people didn't support me when I'm wounded (Wounded!)
So I just block out this deep dread, thoughts often surrounded (Surrounded!)
Stay in my grind and not in these bad feelings, profoundly grounded (Grounded!)
Overthink too much, my mind's fractured, start to sleep less, my peace is hounded (Sleep less!)
Yeah, me, I just deal with these fakes how they deceit me (Deceit me!)
They show their true colours, now I see clearly.

[Verse 2]
PSB’s response, yo, that made it worse, understand?
More worried ‘bout headlines, reputational risk in their hand
Not my wellbeing, nah, just tryna discipline their own man
No support, no protection, left me stranded in this land
Institutional betrayal, yeah, that trauma ran deep
Feeling abandoned, isolated, while my whole system would weep
Flashbacks hitting hard, when that screen first caused me to creep
Hypervigilance always, watching for whispers while I sleep (Shhh!)
Avoidin' all Slack, any conversation, can't feel safe in these rooms
Another leak, another target, just waiting for the next dooms.

[Chorus]
Nah, my people didn't support me when I'm wounded (When I'm wounded, nah!)
So I just block out this deep dread, thoughts often surrounded (Deep dread!)
Stay in my grind and not in these bad feelings, profoundly grounded (Stay grounded!)
Overthink too much, my mind's fractured, start to sleep less, my peace is hounded (Sleep less, yeah!)
Yeah, me, I just deal with these fakes how they deceit me (Deceit me, fam!)
They show their true colours, now I see clearly.

[Bridge]
My sleep's all disrupted, panic attacks hit like a storm (Storm!)
Beta blockers just trying to keep my shaking body warm
This ain't just stress, it's PTSD, took a different form
Breach of trust, public shaming, institutional scorn
Identity-based targeting, left me out in the cold, soaked in the rain
Still trying to recover, feeling these effects, daily, daily pain.

[Chorus]
Nah, my people didn't support me when I'm wounded (When I'm wounded, God!)
So I just block out this deep dread, thoughts often surrounded (Deep dread, yeah!)
Stay in my grind and not in these bad feelings, profoundly grounded (Stay strong!)
Overthink too much, my mind's fractured, start to sleep less, my peace is hounded (Can't sleep!)
Yeah, me, I just deal with these fakes how they deceit me (Deceit me, always!)
They show their true colours, now I see clearly!

[Outro]
Can't trust these spaces...
Leaked words...
Still here... still breathing... 
No peace...

PTSD - Targeted By Political Thugs

[Intro]
O— yeah.
Uh-huh.
Okay, let’s go.

[Chorus]
Steppin' in dark like a true spirit (Spirit)
Their old ways keep causing a tantrum (Tantrum)
Woke mind, I set the whole vibe lit (Vibe lit)
My words, they're the new nation's anthem (Anthem)
Forget gold, I crave true freedom (Freedom)
My folk now pushing new narratives (Narratives)
Got minds shifting all over
'Cause I'm conscious, sharp and I'm grounded (Alright)
If they spill lies, then I'll challenge them (Challenge them)
Their old views, they're now abandoned (Abandoned)
They've never brought no insight, blud
They've never shown no true traction
Nah, I'm centered on my purpose (Purpose)
Justice, spirit, and wisdom (Wisdom)
Their hate and fear feel hollow (Woah)
In the long run, it's just a distraction (Hey, yeah)

[Verse 1]
Media wanna paint me poor, angry, and dim, fam
But I know my spirit’s glowing, gifted, a true star, fam
Blud, what false promises are they brewing now?
Always find a way to make a come-up when
No one is watching the game anyhow
Yeah, Saint George was a melanin man, you heard it clear and loud
I'm embedding truth in the Union Jack, emerging from the clouded shroud
She wants me back in her space, the magnetic pull is potent
Think I'm a threat? Mate, I absolutely am, unapologetic and outspoken
They holler 'bout my laziness, then scream I snatch their daily chore
Their filter bubble's driving me insane, can't take their contradictions no more
Just silence your prejudiced chatter, mate, just quieten your loud gob
Your double standards ain't slick, nah, they just clearly expose your twisted mob.

[Chorus]
Steppin' in dark like a true spirit (Spirit)
Their old ways keep causing a tantrum (Tantrum)
Woke mind, I set the whole vibe lit (Vibe lit)
My words, they're the new nation's anthem (Anthem)
Forget gold, I crave true freedom (Freedom)
My folk now pushing new narratives (Narratives)
Got minds shifting all over
'Cause I'm conscious, sharp and I'm grounded (Alright)
If they spill lies, then I'll challenge them (Challenge them)
Their old views, they're now abandoned (Abandoned)
They've never brought no insight, blud
They've never shown no true traction
Nah, I'm centered on my purpose (Purpose)
Justice, spirit, and wisdom (Wisdom)
Their hate and fear feel hollow (Woah)
In the long run, it's just a distraction (Hey, yeah)

[Verse 2]
I’m black, confident, standing tall, and I'm firmly here to stay
Nigel, that political trickster, he's rich while your pockets are empty every day
Do I need to spell it out, the blatant truth for you to comprehend?
Their divisive games benefit them, a broken cycle that will never mend.
I’m woke, black, and handsome, carrying ancient wisdom's light
I’ve come to claim my sacred birthright, shining ever so bright.
She wants me in her chamber tonight, drawn to the powerful vibe within
Edmonton, this ain't just a borough; it's my kingdom where my spirit can begin.
This is my land, my story, carved in every brick and every tree
From the roots of my ancestors, this vibrant legacy lives through me.
So tell your bigots, your naysayers, their time of fear is truly done
We’re rewriting the future now, beneath the rising, liberating sun.

[Bridge]
Yeah, the rhythm of resistance beats steady, deep in my soul's core
Got that old school soul, with a fresh fire, pushing them to explore
They call us threats, but we just shine, too bright for their dim eyes to ever truly see
This heritage ain't borrowed, it's woven into the very fabric of me.
(Soulful vocal ad-lib: "Oh, it's mine, it's mine, yeah...")

[Chorus]

It's Just A Distraction

[Intro]
Black minds across the world now (yeah)
Move swiftly to uplift the diverse community (Daw loops)
New dreams, future built, and we ain't sleeping
Our purpose now we're seizing (Home-made beats!)

[Chorus]
My spirit is a true path-breaker (Oh, yeah)
Small room, all the old ones judge me (They judge me)
Young talent, charting like an old legend (Ah)
Quickly speak the truth, watch it rise slowly (Slowly)
Old guards still trying to stay seated (Trying to stay seated)
Skeptics stay tense for all fucking wrong reasons (Yeah, yeah)
Truth in the air, minds waking (Oh, oh)
They feel it when my message hits the stereo (And they feel it)

[Verse 1]
Focused so deep, I ain't even flinching
What kind of future are they building?
New plans, new pathways to be paved
No explanations for the changes we've made
I'm a determined black leader, new seat at the table
Boardroom battles, they all want to save face
World's shifting, AI might change the whole space
I'm not one of the boys, but I got my own lane
Believe in diverse views, not playing their game
Never brown nose, always speak my own truth
Can't chain my vision, shining like proof.

[Chorus]
My spirit is a true path-breaker (Oh, yeah)
Small room, all the old ones judge me (They judge me)
Young talent, charting like an old legend (Ah)
Quickly speak the truth, watch it rise slowly (Slowly)
Old guards still trying to stay seated (Trying to stay seated)
Skeptics stay tense for all fucking wrong reasons (Yeah, yeah)
Truth in the air, minds waking (Oh, oh)
They feel it when my message hits the stereo (And they feel it)

[Verse 2]
Walked in with bold thoughts, look like rebels in plain clothes
Old mindsets only show me to new systems
Black voice, firm stand, bright future, let's go
The old ones don't like what I put on the feed
My views are my own, planted a powerful seed
They tell me to hush, keep my head low and stay quiet
But I speak out loud, causing a mindful riot
Can't let the small-minded win, that's not our end goal
This office floor bends when I say so
I can't worry 'bout a slow thinker or a gatekeeper

[Chorus]
My spirit is a true path-breaker (Oh, yeah)
Small room, all the old ones judge me (They judge me)
Young talent, charting like an old legend (Ah)
Quickly speak the truth, watch it rise slowly (Slowly)
Old guards still trying to stay seated (Trying to stay seated)
Skeptics stay tense for all fucking wrong reasons (Yeah, yeah)
Truth in the air, minds waking (Oh, oh)
They feel it when my message hits the stereo (And they feel it)

[Outro]
Stand up, be counted, let your light show it...
We believe in us...
Black Star... yeah... 
Rising...

Black Star

[Intro]
(Ooh-yeah...)
(Suddenly...)

[Verse 1]
First time I saw you, you never looked my way
I was just standing there at the close of day
Thought you had a fire, a little mad in your eyes
But I was just coasting, under empty skies (Yeah, yeah)

[Pre-Chorus]
And I was totally unaware
Didn't know I needed repair… 'til you were there

[Chorus]
You were my therapy (Oh-oh-oh)
You made me happy
We took what we needed, yeah, a daylight robbery
And you were my therapy (Oh-oh-oh)
You set my mind free
Never knew a love like this could happen suddenly

[Verse 2]
Then I caught you looking, just a passing glance
My world stopped turning, so I took a chance (Took a chance, now)
Didn't know that you were waiting for a way out too
Looking for a hand to pull you through the blue (Pull you through)

[Pre-Chorus]
And you were totally unaware
That I was right there, a silent prayer… for you, I swear

[Chorus]
You were my therapy (Oh-oh-oh)
You made me happy
We took what we needed, yeah, a daylight robbery
And you were my therapy (My therapy!)
You set my mind free
Never knew a love like this could happen suddenly

[Bridge]
I took what wasn't mine…
You took what wasn't yours…
We crossed a new line
And we closed all the doors
We just clicked in an instance
No more resistance…

[Chorus]
You were my therapy! (Oh-oh-oh)
You made me happy! (So happy, yeah)
We took what we needed, yeah, a daylight robbery!
And you were my therapy (Oh-oh-oh)
You set my mind free
Never knew a love like this could happen suddenly!

[Outro]
My therapy…
(Yeah, you made me happy)
Daylight robbery…
(Suddenly…)

My Therapy

This is a song about the BBC

[Intro]
Ah-ah-ah-ah...
Let's Dance.

[Verse 1]
(Let's dance) Just wear your red shoes and kill the blues
(Let's dance) To the pretty tune they play for you
Our editorial standard declares a world of perfect unity
While the broadcast beams a shade of perfect white

[Pre-Chorus]
They spin the story, thread by golden thread
To keep you safe and warm inside your head

[Chorus]
LET'S DANCE! Just close your tired eyes and move your shoes
LET'S DANCE! We fabricate the latest breaking news
LET'S DANCE! So you can live inside this fantasy
Don't you ever look too closely

[Verse 2]
(Let's dance) They built a beautiful palace on a distant, foreign shore
(Let's dance) Then sang a freedom anthem right outside the locked front door
The talking heads are chosen by the popular request
And how they speak, well darling, it’s a simple test

[Pre-Chorus]
They’ll sell you comfort, wrap it in a dream
To politely stamp out any rising steam

[Chorus]
LET'S DANCE! Just close your tired eyes and move your shoes
LET'S DANCE! We fabricate the latest breaking news
LET'S DANCE! So you can live inside this fantasy
Don't you ever look too closely

[Bridge]
White means polite...
Subject means quiet...
Our only job is to protect the status quo
And gently press down on a seed before it grows…

[Dance Break]
LET'S DANCE!
Yeah! Don't stop!
Don't look!
LET'S DANCE!

[Chorus]
LET'S DANCE! Just close your tired eyes and move your shoes! (MOVE YOUR SHOES!)
LET'S DANCE! We fabricate the latest breaking news! (IT’S NOT THE TRUTH!)
LET'S DANCE! So you can live inside this fantasy!
Don't you ever, ever, ever look too closely!

[Outro]
Let's Dance... Let's Dance... Let's Dance...
Take off your shoes... let's sway…
Red shoes... white lies…

Let's Dance

[Interviewer:]
So, before it all happened… you felt you had to be perfect?

[Ian Blackman:]
Perfect? Yeah. That was the deal. You had to be flawless just to be… tolerated. One little slip, and you prove them right.

[Verse 1]
Had to be flawless just to be accepted,
One tiny error, their whole theory perfected.
My white coworker could cruise and still feel fine,
But I had to break my body just to hold my own line.
Pushed myself harder, no room to be human,
No space for complaining, just keep on consuming
The pressure and silence, believing the dream,
Loved the work I was doing, the whole damn team.

[Chorus]
Am I just a ghost in the machine?
Writing code but I’m never truly seen.
Living life like a phantom on the screen,
Just a ghost in their perfect, cold machine.

[Verse 2]
Private work channel, some dark right-wing news,
I made gallows humour, lit a very short fuse.
Shared a picture of a Nazi with his hand in the sky,
Called it a Reform salute, a quick, bitter reply.
Woke up next morning, my private joke made global,
On some culture war station, completely ignoble.
Some talking head on the TV screaming I should be fired,
For mocking a fascist… the irony felt so tired.

[Bridge]

[Ian Blackman:]
They came for me. Racist DMs, slurs… people said it was what you get with a “diversity hire.” I just kept checking my work email… waiting for someone… anyone… to have my back. But there was just… silence.

[Chorus]
Am I just a ghost in the machine?
Writing code but I’m never truly seen.
Living life like a phantom on the screen,
Just a ghost in their perfect, cold machine.
