These Cold Grey Walls Lyrics by Encoded

Back in 199X

0

Someone wanted me to be like that
A tool of supremacy
Long silicon and hydrocarbon corridors
And reinforced concrete
Reality
These cold grey walls
My workplace
What I belong to
To which I swore
My new self
Double glazing separating aseptic laboratories
Security rooms with large inch screens
Prosperous girls with tight latex overalls
Total submission to the high command
This morning there was a briefing for a new mission
Escort a CEO of a nanotechnology company
I feel the need to resume my life
To escape from these cold gray walls
They taught me everything I know
They fed me, they gave me shelter
I grew up under their unerring guide
That means now they have power of life and death over me
They give me an order, whatever it is, and I have to execute it
Disobedience and failure are punishable by death
Maybe escape is the answer
Desertion....
Betrayal....
