lyrics

It’s getting harder all the time
to resign
trawling news online
and just live life
Why abstain?
When any mundane moment
is a page away from dissipating
Sitting with our thoughts
to explore
What we’re working for
rarely anymore
drawn
to watch people than perform

Way too entertained
thinking grey
too much of the same
Under nourishing
habits are maintained
When the body finds abundance
the production of that drug is stunted
Maybe ideas are the same
and we stifle thought
never getting bored
A smorgasbord
of mortals we’ve adored

Tailored feeds are slot machines
promising shots of dopamine
Straight in to the vein
just enough to keep you keen
When the trickles Intermittent
studies confirm people
keep returning
Acts of hate
like bait to our innate traits
drawn into debate
Why do I participate?

Vying for our eyes is an enterprise
The wandering mind
ever notified
Enticed to devices by design
Habit normalised

Slaves to data
when in a In a state of malaise

These are our last years
outside of grand
augmented landscapes
Necks untethered
from posture wrecking
pocket screens
Beckoning
an age of holographic Networking

What could go wrong?

Eye devices storing your memories
would be handy to find lost keys
but I dread the day I capture a tragedy
When there’s someone to blame
replaying frame by frame
Facial recognition will look for clues
sending data to the user about our mood
Reading subtle vibes to provide replies
Torn between suggestions
and speaking your mind
Any shady thing you do
can and will be used against you
Will more proof conserve context?
Which people twist
to suit agendas
every day in the news
Is it more rope
To hang ourselves with?
