awerysopelea - European Money

Lyrics

[Verse 1] They sold it slow with a safer tone A little comfort on a glowing phone “No need to fear, it’s progress now” But every chain begins somehow Every payment, every move Every silence they approve Digital shadows in the light Smiling while they read our lives [Pre-Chorus] And maybe I’m wrong Maybe it’s fine Maybe freedom dies One step at a time [Chorus] If money can watch us If money obeys If freedom depends on the rules they create Then who do we become? Who gets to decide? You call this protection But it feels like a cage tonight We won’t fade quietly We won’t stand numb If this changes everything Then let the people choose what we become [Verse 2] No broken locks No smoking guns Just softer words and stricter ones A thousand choices slowly gone Before you even know they’re gone And maybe someday they mean well But power changes every hand it’s held What happens when the line gets crossed? How much freedom is convenience worth? [Pre-Chorus] They say it’s safe They say it’s smart But history leaves scars On every trusting heart [Chorus] If money can watch us If money obeys If freedom depends on the rules they create Then who do we become? Who gets to decide? You call this protection But it feels like a cage tonight We won’t fade quietly We won’t stand numb If this changes everything Then let the people choose what we become [Bridge] No kings No screens Should own the air we breathe No code No state Should choose what makes us free We are not data We are alive And freedom dies When no one fights [Final Chorus] If money can punish If money can bend Then freedom is only a word in the end So hear this clearly now Before it’s too late If the future belongs to all of us Then all of us should choose our fate We won’t fade quietly We won’t disappear You can digitize the currency But not erase the fear This is our voice This is our stand No system this powerful Should rise without the people’s hand
