Well I wake up out of bed
But I can't seem to help myself
This nicotine it's socially
Acceptable in this world
All the bright lights on the screen
Four inches down to top
Give me just a little hit
It's customised to hit the spot
Today on the superhighway
Of rage and righteousness
Get me back into my bubble
So I won't be scared
Cos there's everything you need to hear
On a pocket slot machine
Whatever will you get next
An algorithm's dream
And herd you into the hive mind
To protect your dogma
Cos we don't need no
Cognitive dissonance answers
Prepare for your daily battle
With the other side
Because this bubble internet
It caters to both left and right
And we're rationing our reality
Saving our mind from overthinking
We need to live in a world of our making
Customised for group-think enforcing
And I
I don't know if I can give this up
The downside of this brave new world is
We were not prepared
We thought that we could get connected
And then we'd all become aware
But our minds aren't up to the task
And so we all formed tribes
Clustered in our little pockets
Festering in lie
Cos profit comes from feeding us
What we already believe
And the truth will not be found
When clicks are the currency
So don't go sitting there
Thinking you're the exception
We'd all like to think that
But it's not so probable
And we've all mostly retired
The skill of talking to strangers
Why would I want to ruin
My nice echo chamber
Leave your easy answers and your
Soap box in the past
Cos we have got to learn some manners
If we want to last
And we're rationing our reality
Saving our mind from overthinking
We need to live in a world of our making
Customised for group-think enforcing
And I
I don't know if I can give this up
