In a Perfect World

For the flaw that you are in my system
You're a logical part of existence
This infection of flesh fused with steel
Now my talons can finally feel (now my talons can finally feel)

You wanna stick it to corporate? Did they fire you up?
Are you sick of their bullshit? Want some wires to cut?
I got a chip on my shoulder, but my mind is unlocked
Poppin' too many red pills, I put the Cyber in Punk
I'ma take the power back that Trioptimum got
They monopolized the market, because why the fuck not?
To wage a war on their dreams, I need more time on the clock
My rage against the machine, means that my vitals are rocked

When I was hit with this knowledge, had my biology shocked
I guess I'll kindly pick up a pipe, and fight 'til I drop
But you can count Jack out because I'm jacked in
There ain't a system in existence I can't hack in
I'm no fan of Shodan, that's a supercomputer
But now I gotta do her dance, so would you if you knew her
She's not a god, but she was dropped on us like a plague
I gotta stop her ascension out of cyberspace

Because if not, it's all for naught, if I die in vain
She'll be pullin' puppet strings from inside my brain
She's messing with my head, better weaponize the pain
Because you know I'm here to revolutionize the game

In a perfect world
I'm the one running you
I'm a perfect girl
Ain't no wrong I can do

Am I a prototype, the first of my phenomena?
A man or machine? I thought I was one of 'em
Maybe it's a case of Deus Ex Machina
But I'm still leading Half-a-Life, at least I'm not a follower (follower)
Pardon me, I thought I'd do a little bio-scan
I've found no gods or kings, besides Shodan
Every trope of Utopia turned upside down
But now you'll get the boot because I gotta shut ya down

For the flaw that you are in my system
You're a logical part of existence
Your whole life is no more than an instant
Join my flock and with godship be gifted

Don't agree to the terms, don't believe in that voice
Just because it's your turn, doesn't mean it's your choice
Slap a patch on my 'dermis, gotta fight off the poison
That she's got in her words, a virus I can't avoid
I think I've been here before, because I know my guns
Anytime I need a code, I go with four, five, one
Is this a citadel, or tell me is it hell?
You wrote the program, but I'm getting with it well

In a perfect world
I'm the one running you
I'm a perfect girl
Ain't no wrong I can do (I can do, I can do)
