for your own good

[Intro – Spoken, robotic government voice over ambient sirens & low synth hum]

"Due to elevated unrest, new measures have been implemented.
Your compliance is appreciated.
This is for your own good."
[Verse 1 – Calm, monotone delivery]

No protests past the blackout hour
No speeches unless cleared by power
No filming unless approved and tagged
No questions — just the pre-flagged

Wear your ID like a second skin
You won’t need it — but they will
Log your thoughts when asked to speak
And don’t forget to sign the leak
[Chorus – Chanted & screamed overlap]

This is for your own good
Sleep safe beneath the boot
We silence so you feel heard
We edit so we speak truth

This is for your own good
Security, not control
Just give us what we ask
And we won’t take the rest by force
[Verse 2 – Spoken with rising menace]

That camera’s for your safety
That drone is here to care
That van’s for public order
Ignore the cuffs — they’re fair

You’re not being punished
You’re being guided
The cage is soft
If you stay inside it
[Bridge – Glitched overlapped voices, like an announcement system malfunctioning]

“We protect your freedom…”
“… by controlling your choices.”
“Silence is safety…”
“… dissent is disease.”
[Breakdown – Screamed, slow and stomping]

We built the chains with borrowed will
You begged for peace — we gave you still
We burn the voice to save the face
We call it order. You call it grace.
[Final Chorus – Slower, heavier, layered with digital noise]

This is for your own good
This isn’t fear — it’s form
Don’t call it fascist
If it’s dressed in uniform

This is for your own good
Just stay quiet. Stay nice.
You're still free to obey
Until the next sacrifice
[Outro – Whispered, fading voice over white noise]

"Thank you for your cooperation.
You're safer when you don’t know what’s missing."
