Crunch, crunch goes the robot ingesting the data bit by bit
Just a number muncher, not a human with feelings
We have become antisocial in society
Feelings mean nothing to the powers that decide your payments your worth or worthlessness

I am a human, life breathing being
I feel pain and neglect
My life matters to me, but not to you data cruncher
Irrelevant, invisible, insignificant
Why forsaken?
Not a number, a citizen, a voter, a voice to be heard
I have a name, a life
Let us hack the system and annoy these robots
Power to the people

Not a Number

Crunch, crunch goes the robot ingesting the data bit by bit
Just a number muncher, not a human with feelings
We have become antisocial in society
Feelings mean nothing to the powers that decide your payments your worth or worthlessness

I am a human, life breathing being
I feel pain and neglect
My life matters to me, but not to you data cruncher
Irrelevant, invisible, insignificant
Why forsaken?
Not a number, a citizen, a voter, a voice to be heard
I have a name, a life
Let us hack the system and annoy these robots
Power to the people
