CONTENT GENERATION

He's got a Youtube channel, subscriber count insane
Legions of fan boys hang on every frame
Preying on feelings of adolescent shame
Promising help or a scapegoat to blame

Bookmark this page for more misguided rage

chorus:
Drop another video, log another like
Watch the algorithmic engagement spike
The rich and connected rank first in the search
The disenfranchised lag behind in the lurch
So much for the promise of a democratic web
You're a blip in the algo or an internet celeb
It's all in a day for the content generation
The masters of AI machine manipulation
For this is the way we have corrupted creation
It's all in a day, it's all in a day...

She's got an Instagram page, a borrowed lifestyle
Fist full of receipts and a photoshopped smile
But she don't care, she's determined to win
That dead end town can all watch her cash in

Click on those links for god-level high jinks

(chorus)

NOTHING REGISTERS

Under watchful gaze of these internet vultures
Scavenging conflict, dismembering cultures
Black sunken eyes cemented to our screens
Frozen stiff in the glow of their tractor beams

chorus:
Nothing registers, nothing siphons off the flow
In the clutches of big tech
And its big tech bro
Hypnotized by the digital disguise
Warm and friendly, you would never suspect
Undulating tentacles beckon to connect

What did they do with five billion connections?
Siphoned our data, perverted elections
Power and fame breeds mischievous boys
Who fancy the world and its people their toys

chorus:
Nothing registers, nothing shakes us from the spell
In the clutches of big tech
Straight out of Orwell
Hypnotized by the digital disguise
Sharing so much we will come to regret
Fighting with an entity that will not forget

bridge:
The answer keeps kicking us right in the face
Like a kid who moves out and gets their own place
We could each have a site and connect on our own
You know, until then big brother won't leave us alone

(chorus)

CLICK & CLASH

Logging on and logging in
Your favorite soapbox for your vanities
When all at once you're treated to
Another onslaught of disparities

Here we click and there we clash
Combating storms of new conspiracies
She's a groomer, he's a fash
Is there no end to these rivalries?

chorus:
Clicking around in a click & clash world
Crawling with conspiracy theories
Another domain for hosting your pain
Streaming in the latest new series
Triggering nerves in a click & clash world
Mass targeting the weakest of links
Frustrated gamer, cringe echo chamber
Not caring what else anyone thinks

Trolling up and trolling down
Another day trading in expletives
Where foreign assets fan flame wars
And secret click farms sow false narratives

Here we click and there we clash
Caught in a web of animosities
Spinning zones for apps on phones
Planning platforms for atrocities

(chorus)

Clicking around in a click and clash world
And finding out the hard way

COPY & PASTE

I know of a virus
Our cliques have all contracted
And this generations'
So easily distracted

From selfie to selfie
#infatuation
That viral infection?
Dumb loves' memeification

chorus:
Fate isn't a text you can copy & paste
And Life isn't trial & error to waste
Love isn't a page we just highlight and click
To copy & paste our dream relationship

We assemble our cast
Actors hastily vetted
Who leave the set early
The role they regretted

Over eager to click
With the randomest persons
Then savagely ghosted
When the link rots and worsens

chorus:
Our feeble contacts are often just as well
And sometimes our search yields a dead url
Love isn't a page we just highlight and click
To copy & paste our dream relationship

bridge:
Some limit their love lives to trial and error
Entrusting their choice to pure surface details
Blind-sided by pain when endorphins diminish
And searching for deeper connection fails

(chorus)

outro:
You can't copy & paste your love
I'm not one to trust trial & error
You don't want to go waste your love
I'm not one to believe in forever

You can't copy & paste your love_

X OUT OF

Screen life is no life
Living through a virtual window
Dark days scroll by
Searching for a pixelized rainbow

If I could one day find the cursory stength
To x out of here, to x out of here
Life would open to a magical page
No exploits to fear, bad files wiped clear

chorus:
X out of life long frozen in place
Force quit on a world in a violent doom scroll
Of unsure connections and platform deceptions
Where every device is a spy they control

If I could x out of this place
If I could x out of a world in free fall
If I could x out of this place
If I could x out and be free of it all

Link rot is still rot
Traces of digital entropy
Dark web markets
Breeches of data security

If I could rally and make one last attempt
I'd x out, I swear, I'd x out, I swear
Scrub every trace and delete all accounts
Like a bot on a tear, like I never was there

(chorus)

If I could x out of this place
If I could x out, if I could x out
