Get Off The Grid Lyrics

The network, ant farm, corporate staff, a honeycomb of bees
Born in this world naked and free, but end up one of these
No manï¿½s an island, thatï¿½s for sure, but weï¿½ve taken this too far
Dependence on the systemï¿½s got us locked behind its bars

Lockstep, we all march to the corporate drum
Hardwired, plugged in for news and fun
Cash strapped, hair-trigger on trap door
Strapped in to an endless global war

Get off the grid
Get off the grid
Get off the grid
Get off the grid

License, SS, credit score, weï¿½re a number, not a name
You can live your life autonomous, but you wonï¿½t be in the game
The world is more connected now; we do the matrixï¿½s bid
But you can just unplug yourself, get off the network grid

Lockstep, we all march to the corporate drum
Hardwired, plugged in for news and fun
Cash strapped, hair-trigger on trap door
Strapped in to an endless global war

Get off the grid
Get off the grid
Get off the grid
Get off the grid
Get off the grid
Get off the grid
Get off the grid
Get off the grid
Get off the grid

The Killing Moon

The network, ant farm, corporate staff, a honeycomb of bees
Born in this world naked and free, but end up one of these
No manï¿½s an island, thatï¿½s for sure, but weï¿½ve taken this too far
Dependence on the systemï¿½s got us locked behind its bars

Lockstep, we all march to the corporate drum
Hardwired, plugged in for news and fun
Cash strapped, hair-trigger on trap door
Strapped in to an endless global war

Get off the grid
Get off the grid
Get off the grid
Get off the grid

License, SS, credit score, weï¿½re a number, not a name
You can live your life autonomous, but you wonï¿½t be in the game
The world is more connected now; we do the matrixï¿½s bid
But you can just unplug yourself, get off the network grid

Lockstep, we all march to the corporate drum
Hardwired, plugged in for news and fun
Cash strapped, hair-trigger on trap door
Strapped in to an endless global war

Get off the grid
Get off the grid
Get off the grid
Get off the grid
Get off the grid
Get off the grid
Get off the grid
Get off the grid
Get off the grid

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

It's said, a teenager spends at least 8 hours engaged in some kind of eletronic device (computer, cell phone, TV, video game, movies, music, etc.) Time to "get off the grid" and take a walk through the park.
