[Verse 1]
The clerk behind the desk says it's not their call
Just processing the forms, following protocol
Transport logistics, nothing more they claim
But every signature feeds the machine of shame
[Pre-Chorus]
When systems turn to shadows
And orders lose their soul
Who will break the silence?
Who will take control?
[Chorus]
Don't hide behind the handbook
Don't shelter in the rules
Active judgment saves us
From becoming history's fools
Think before you process
Question what you sign
The person in the system
Is where we draw the line
[Verse 2]
The judge pounds down the gavel on discriminatory law
Says "valid legislation" is all that matters now
Modern bureaucracies disclaim agency today
"Just following the policy" is what they always say
[Pre-Chorus]
When systems turn to shadows
And orders lose their soul
Who will break the silence?
Who will take control?
[Chorus]
Don't hide behind the handbook
Don't shelter in the rules
Active judgment saves us
From becoming history's fools
Think before you process
Question what you sign
The person in the system
Is where we draw the line
[Bridge]
Personal virtue isn't enough alone
When institutions lose their moral tone
Inside the machine we need thinking minds
To see the human cost that power blinds
[Chorus]
Don't hide behind the handbook
Don't shelter in the rules
Active judgment saves us
From becoming history's fools
Think before you process
Question what you sign
The person in the system
Is where we draw the line
[Outro]
The choice is always there
In every form you file
To serve humanity
Or feed the crocodile
