This early-80s Synth-Pop / Minimal New-Wave track at 145 BPM features a dry 909-inspired kick, sharp snare, claps on 2 & 4, and a mono synth-bass looping root–♭7–5–♭7, A bright analog synth lead trades off with a thin, icy pad, Vocals—male or female—are flat, detached, with short delay, while group “Yeah!” or “Right!” interjections punctuate, Tight mix locks groove to bass pulse and claps, highlighting a polished and slyly ironic atmosphere

[Intro – bass riff + clap groove]
(Click-click)  
Smile for the camera—time to begin.  

[Verse 1 – clipped vocal]
Polish the shoes, press the tie,  
Brush that question from your eye.  
Stand in line, look straight ahead,  
Say the words you’ve always said.  

[Chorus – dry chant rhythm]
Model citizen, don’t blink,  
Stay inside the frame you think.  
Model citizen, just right,  
Keep that posture through the night.  

[Verse 2 – same pulse]
Perfect manners, steady tone,  
All opinions pre-approved and cloned.  
Every face a barcode grin,  
Scan it twice, then plug it in.  

[Chorus – repeat with extra synth stab]
Model citizen, don’t blink,  
Stay inside the frame you think.  
Model citizen, just right,  
Keep that posture through the night.  

[Bridge – drop to kick + clap only]
Clock hands spin, still I smile,  
Counting steps the proper style.  
Someone coughs, alarms will ring,  
Perfection’s such a fragile thing.  

[Break – short synth solo answering bass]
(dun-dun-dun-da-da)  

[Chorus – full groove returns]
Model citizen, don’t blink,  
Stay inside the frame you think.  
Model citizen, just right,  
Keep that posture through the night.  
Model citizen, stay true,  
World’s reflecting back at you.  

[Outro – bass loop fades, voice half-spoken]
Click… done…  
Everybody looks so good tonight.
