The Unknown Users - True Colors.

Don't need to say a word
I know your true colors
Don't know what you heard
You aren't gray like the others

In lands of black and white
You need to stay undercover
Don't shine so bright
Keep the act duller

Keep your red about you
Keep your blues in check
Ain't green to this scene
Don't get caught by the tech

You want to get by
Have to practice the lie
Keep the answer short
When you get stopped and asked why

That's how we go high
To maintain our clarity
So we can abide
Living in disparity

They're on to our aura
Detected our Quora
Rather Astroturf
Then engage our flora
For what it's worth
You grow numb to the dissonance
Go dumb with the citizens
Succumb to the common sense

Feel right at home
With it all monochrome
Live a cozy life
Constantly checking tone

Watch your social credit
Hide that you ever said it
You want five stars
Know where the etiquette's headed

Wanna be a fat cat
Don't leave a paper trail
You wanna
Be a tiger
Don't show your paper tail
Trophy hunters
Will find you without fail
Throw you in a cage
With no due process or bail
It's not new

The place we call our soul, ocean

Don't need to say a word
I know your true colors
Don't know what you heard
You aren't gray like the others

In lands of black and white
You need to stay undercover
Don't shine so bright
Keep the act duller

Keep your red about you
Keep your blues in check
Ain't green to this scene
Don't get caught by the tech

You want to get by
Have to practice the lie
Keep the answer short
When you get stopped and asked why

Keep your head down
Better days are coming
Keep your head down
No point in running

Watch your crown, King
They're ruthless when they sting
Watch your crown, Queen
Doesn't matter if you're clean

There are plenty of ways
To wean you of your rights
Turn you into slaves
When they hit their flashing lights

Set examples
And make you live it
As an exhibit
Telling rebels just as livid
To stick to civics

Signing petitions
Tried as sedition
Appealing to reason
Treated as treason

Paint you as an instigator
Top secret collaborators
Watch your thought crimes
Don't get caught by dominators

I know you
You're better than all this
Inner space resolves this
Ignorance is not bliss

Justice has been privatized
But truth is crowdsourced
Can't kill facts
If they're scattered in the discourse
