Lyrics
Doom scrolling scrolling up
If it's pissing people off then it's blowing up
Coming up at the top of the feed
It's ragebait for the machine
Artificial art that hurts to see and in the fire now we all sleep
Algorithms decide our fate
And take us one step closer to the death of all that we create
We can spot a pretender
They put art in a blender
Spitting out trash
Better left to oblivion
Don't you find it suspicious?
They only care if you're going viral
Art that's been over recycled
Selling tickets to crickets
And the crowd goes mild
They weaponize that scroll with a dopamine fix
Monetize your outrage
Repackaged in clicks
They measure the worth of a verse by a search
I'm off grid like Thoreau
Resisting the urge
They call it expression
I call it a trap
Push button creation with no soul in the app
It's not the scene's dead it's been shrink wrapped and sold
Like a punk rock Funko pop NFT code
They spotlight the safest and glossiest frame
Then ghost you in silence when you don't play the game
But I've seen the kids in the back of the class
Rapping Melvin with passion and crashing the cache
So if I never trend, well that's fine with me
I'm rolling with friends like Mega Infinity
While the others are staged and fake
I'm writing verses at the library on my lunchtime break
They're gonna go with the safest choice
Written to be background noise
They don't want you to touch that dial
Selling tickets to crickets and the crowd goes mild
And the crowd goes mild
Intimidated because we've got our own style
Selling tickets to the crickets and the crowd goes mild
They've got no power over us
And we're not giving up
Because they say we're not enough
Entertainers rising up
Because there are more of us
We will make their end our renaissance
Go
