You're getting lost in a YouTube hole
A Talking Heads fit in for your soul
And it's a hashtag feedback loop
Where the soundtrack is begging to see what unfolds
All they want is for you to pay, pay, pay
Doesn't matter what they've got to say, say, say
But you will never learn
Throw away your feather guitar
Now this is who you are
Propping up the ego bar
In the trash with the repertoire
To trade in the bizarre
Influence to kill the rockstar
ย
They sell a smile with an ears velcro
Repost a post full of Sunday hope
Well it's the stream-based clickbait
Soon they're gonna tax me
'Cause it's about the banknotes
All they want is for you to pay, pay, pay
Doesn't matter what they've got to say, say, say
But you will never learn
Throw away your feather guitar
Now this is who you are
Propping up the ego bar
In the trash with the repertoire
To trade in the bizarre
Influence to kill the rockstar
Your videos are edited to shimmer, puff and shine
You are your own protagonist, the author and the rhyme
To live to tell the tale and the tale is the life
You've trademarked your name and your soul's in copyrights
ย
All they want is for you to pay, pay, pay
Doesn't matter what they've got to say, say, say
But you will never learn
Throw away your feather guitar
Now this is who you are
Propping up the ego bar
In the trash with the repertoire
To trade in the bizarre
Influence to kill the rockstar
In the fire with your music sheets
It's what you want to be, internet personality
To the dance with the rock and roll dream
It's crazy not to see, theoretician of conspiracy
And all the other things of no cultural
Or intellectual value whatsoever
Forget music, art, the prospect of dialogical engagement with another
This is your life now
