Lyrics

Work like a slave to get more stuff
But now you’re getting old and it’s not enough
Don’t hit you targets, move behind the pack
Then a bot gets your job, you’re first to get sacked
Now they’re looking for your wife and fucking with your 4G
They’re monitoring tools and tracing your IP
They’re using facial recognition in your TikTok
They’re pinpointing information in your digital dock
Clacking on your keyboard, society’s decline
Autonomous phenomenon, intelligent design
Malware, embedded deep in the core
So they can sneak in through their own back door

Sometimes I curl up and cry
Sometimes I take the frequencies up and high
Sometimes all my thoughts are a lie
Sometimes I hold the weight of my mind

Did you watch Netflix? It’s watching you back
Algorithms, suggestions, they know I like that
Using maps to create their monsters in the form of a graph
Maximizing profits, not a living step
All that clicking on your keyboard is society’s decline
Autonomous phenomenon, intelligent design
Malware, embedded deep in the core
So they can sneak in through their own back door

Sometimes I curl up and cry
Sometimes I take the frequencies up and high
Sometimes all my thoughts are a lie
Sometimes I hold the weight of my mind

(Whoo!)
