Midwest Ghost - Digital Friends Lyrics

Lonny goes to his nine to five
With a smile on his face
Was told his whole life
If he worked hard he would do great
He knows he's up against
A mountain of debt
But he puts it to the back of his mind
Like all those pesky thoughts he has of death

He got fooled by the cool kid scene
American dream pyramid scheme and all
Got you all running for your lives
Conquer and divide as they're reading out your rights
Is this the life
Everything you need just down the line
What you think you'd find
As they all came to turn out the lights
They're coming to turn out the lights

Jaycee gets the kids to school
With a smile on her face
She thought her whole life
That one day she'd make it big
And somehow get out of this place
She told herself it's got to be a matter of time
Ain't it funny how time has a way
Of just slipping right by

He got fooled by the cool kid scene
American dream pyramid scheme and all
Got you all running for your lives
Conquer and divide as they're reading out your rights
Is this the life
Everything you need just down the line
What you think you'd find
As they all came to turn out the lights
They're coming to turn out the lights

But ain't you got your digital friends
They got you on some pretty good meds
They ain't workin' no more
Ever think you're making amends
At least you got your digital friends

We're all fooled by the cool kid scene
American dream pyramid scheme and all
Got you all running for your lives
Conquer and divide as they're reading out your rights
Is this the life
Everything you need just down the line
What you think you'd find
As they all came to turn out the lights
They're coming to turn out the lights

You gotta cry against the dying of the light
Cuz they're coming to turn out the lights
