Algorithm Blues

Walk with me baby, I wanna see some commotion

Talk to me baby, I wanna feel some emotion

Got a whole lotta love, not just little inclination

No money honey, it's just a matter of time

The label says I'm crackin', and everything is just fine

Gotta get me on some playlists, or I won't see an effin' dime

I've got the Algorithm Blues, lamenting tune upon my mind,

Lost in the circuits, and so I'm in a frickin' bind

In this cold, cold grind, The fruit will rot upon the vine.

Now in a world spun by bots, the soul is scared and on the run.

The streams are counted, but ain't at all any fun

The artist keeps on starving while the platform makes a killing

Caught in the web, all my heroes back in time

The charts are full of trash, and we're still at the starting line

The algorithms dictate, who gets paid and who will whine
