For Your Own Good

(Verse 1)
They say it’s for the children,
Just a harmless little rule,
Sign here for your protection,
We’ll decide what’s safe for you.
Just a checkbox for your freedom,
Just a scan behind the screen,
Just a quiet little upgrade
To the world you’ve always seen.

(Pre-Chorus)
Nothing here to question,
Nothing here to fight,
If you’ve got nothing to hide
Then you’ve got nothing to write.

(Chorus)
It’s for your own good, they say,
Just a little more control today.
We’ll keep you safe, we’ll pave the way,
Trust the hands that hold the clay.
It’s for your own good, can’t you see?
We’ll guard your chains responsibly.
Just trade a little liberty
For managed security.

(Verse 2)
In the name of public health,
In the shadow of a threat,
In the interest of fairness,
It’s the safest gamble yet.
Temporary measures
Till the danger disappears
Funny how the exit sign
Is fading year by year.

(Pre-Chorus)
No need for permission,
No need for debate,
It’s industry standard
We’re just updating the state.

(Chorus)
It’s for your own good, they say…
Just a little more control today…

(Bridge)
But who decides the danger?
Who defines the line?
Who keeps the keys to every door
And reads your private mind?
Safety built on silence
Is a fragile, fragile thing
A cage can look like shelter
When you’ve never heard it sing.

(Final Chorus - hopeful turn)
It’s for our own good, we say,
When power’s kept in check each day.
When light is bright and rules are clear,
And rights don’t vanish out of fear.
It’s for our own good, we know
That freedom’s roots are slow to grow.
Guard the watchmen, share the keys,
Safety walks with liberties.
