[ Featuring Probably ]
In the cavernous void of the nine to five
You toil unseen and barely alive
A faceless drone in a sterile hive
Where dreams go to wither not to thrive
Your boss is a specter of empty words
His promises are hollow, if not unheard
An endless cycle of mundane tasks
Your once bright future is now your past
In the company's eyes, you're just a drone
A fleeting presence, you're on your own
Your efforts unnoticed, your soul in malaise
Here's a pizza party instead of a race
Quit your job, what the hey
You'll be replaced soon anyway
Quit your job, don't ask why
We can do what you can't do with AI
In a world of steel and shadows, where dreams are bound to die
You're just a ghost in the machine, left wondering why
As the circuits hum and echo underneath fluorescent lights
The systems become cold and blind, and your humanity's left behind
Am I nothing
You muse bleakly
In the silence
Mutter weakly
A pawn, a tool, a fleeting wisp
In a world gripped by iron fists
Your reflection, a hollow stare
A man once vibrant now stripped bare
With trembling hands, you pen farewell
To a life that's become a living hell
You step away from the phantom grind
Leaving it all behind
In the silence, find release
From a world that never offered peace
In a prison of steel and shadows
Where dreams are bound to die
You're just a ghost in the machine, left wondering why
As the circuits hum echo
Underneath fluorescent lights
The systems become cold and blind
And your humanity's left behind
In a prison of steel and shadows
Where dreams are bound to die
You're just a ghost in the machine
And your humanity's left be-e-e-hind
