These Cold Grey Walls Lyrics


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....
