Cypher Punk — Sound Money Records — lyrics
Hand-me-down future
Paper on a chain
Rust on the promise
Nothing but the same
I was born in a long line
Told to wait my turn
Watching every paycheck
Light up and burn
I'm a cypher punk
I won't sit in your cage
I'm done being quiet
I'm done being paid in pain
I'm a cypher punk
I'm walking off your board
You can keep your crooked crown
I won't bow anymore (hey!)
Couch full of misfits
Laptops on our knees
Talking 'bout an exit
Talking 'bout a key
All these little numbers
Passed from hand to hand
Suddenly your empire
Looks like sinking sand
I'm a cypher punk
I won't sit in your cage
I'm done being quiet
I'm done being paid in pain
I'm a cypher punk
I'm walking off your board
You can keep your crooked crown
I won't bow anymore
You wrote the rules
You stacked the game
You sold us debt
You stamped our names
We built a road
Outside your walls
Line by line
We'll watch you fall (fall, fall)
I'm a cypher punk
I won't sit in your cage
I'm done being quiet
I'm done being paid in pain
I'm a cypher punk
I'm walking off your board
You can keep your crooked crown
I won't bow anymore (cypher punk!)
I won't bow anymore
