Verse 1
They bought the bots, they cut the ranks,
said “Efficiency!” while minds sank.
We built the lines, we held the keys,
now shadows whisper: “We’re easily replaced.”

Hook
We’re the ones who gave the tools,
we’re not the broken fools.
Machines can do the work,
but never hold the soul.
Tool, not replacement —
that was the goal.

(solo)

Verse 2
Jobs we loved, skills we owned,
now fine print reads: “Out of zone.”
But human’s more than cog and gear,
it’s heart, it’s mind, it’s living here.

Bridge
When you fire the voice who cared,
when you silence the soul who dared,
you’ll see the ghost of what you lost —
cost savings now, but at what cost?

(solo)

Final Hook
We’re the ones who gave the tools,
we’re not the broken fools.
Machines can do the work,
but never hold the soul.
Tool, not replacement —
rise and take control.
