lyrics

Some sweetheart in china
Is making my new cellular phone
And I’m a bastard for surfacing
This inconvenient tyranny
Please come and break me to pieces
Shotput through my glass house
I just can’t harness the energy / The planets taking revenge on its
To coordinate some positivity / Temporary residents

Will you take to the streets with them?
Buy some goggles and masks
2-day shippings going to be just fine
Now lets unpause this comedy online

They got me right where they want me
Somewhere in between dopamine quick hits
Scrolling half my waking life away, ashamed
Algorithmic apathy

All we are
Stars of our own familiar, comfy TV shows
Read NPR
Convince yourself you’re not the problem - No you never are
In my little room, vocal and immune
I will broadcast concern won't you like and subscribe

They got me right where they want me
Somewhere in between dopamine quick hits
Scrolling half my waking life away, ashamed
Algorithmic apathy
