Keys
Welcome to the new world
Red carpet, unfurled
Yes we've turned a new page
So bring your lives to the future
and your brains to the Stone Age
Look!
Influencer - new sage
feeding on your outrage
freedom is your new cage
full time scroller - no wage
Stop!
Now reach through the bars - at your enemies
Painted by the algorithm - new police
Stop!
Don't think too much - life is simple
Everything is falling down - and they're after your last tent pole
So fight em' now - lash out and get em'
Bite em' now
Let ‘em feel the sting of fury - wow
Their phone dings - you just took them down
No more back rings - yeah you wear the crown
Pause
But now you’re empty - drained and feeling unseen
Need another hit of dopamine?
No worries - hit refresh please
Your mind is safe - we've got the keys
