[Verse 1]
Through the gates of steel and glass
Another number, another pass
Marcus said "Just play the game"
But every stamp erased my name
These halls of power grind us down
Into papers scattered 'round
[Chorus]
We're all just transit papers now
Lost in the system somehow
Hands up, reach for the sky
Before they make our dreams die
We dance until we break free
From who they say we should be
(We're all just transit papers now)
[Verse 2]
Manchester nights burn so bright
Chemical dreams take flight
Family crossed these lines before
Now I'm knocking at the same door
They feed us through the machine
Till nothing's left to be seen
[Bridge]
F*ck their codes and protocols
Can't reduce our beating souls
One more stamp, one more lie
One more chance to touch the sky
[Chorus]
We're all just transit papers now
Lost in the system somehow
Hands up, reach for the sky
Before they make our dreams die
We dance until we break free
From who they say we should be
(We're all just transit papers now)
[Outro]
Tonight we'll burn these files
Dance through all their trials
Let the bass erase their rules
We're humans, not their tools
(We're all just transit papers now)
(We're all just transit papers now)
