Tekst Utworu

Is there no alternative?
Is this how we were meant to live?
A price on every molecule
And subatomic particle
Every pore and follicle's
A hole crying out to be full
Of something unattainable
Spontaneous and meaningful
Something true and something free
Something that could never be
In the attention economy
But those fractions of a cent add up
Like fractured coins in a beggars cup
And we're just beggars you and me
Begging for eternity
I see satan fall like lightning
Is there no alternative?
Is this how we were meant to live?
Genocidal, pornographic
Testicular micro-plastics
Vape pens filled with THC
Youtube conspiracies
War crime news then a target ad
Then doomscroll into a thirst trap
Then upload the contents of
Your offering, something you love
The demiurge of paradise requires constant sacrifice
Buy Rituals by Byung-Chul Han
10.99 on Amazon
Then scroll through your ex's feed
Own the libs and go to sleep
Dream about a glowing screen
Eclipsing both the sky and sea
A tidal wave of pixel dust
Crashing down on all of us
There must be some way to monetize
What you see when you close your eyes
Cuz every second that you sleep
You're stealing from the company
Every blink your eyelids take's
An impression you didn't make
In the attention economy
Where nothing's true and nobody's free
But you can be your own boss and employee
Be your own class enemy
In the attention economy
But those fractions of a cent add up
Like fractured coins in a beggar's cup
And we're just beggars you and me
Begging for eternity
I see satan fall like lightning
Is there no alternative?
Is this how we were meant to live?
There's a platform on the ocean now
The plastic gyre spirals round
Those pharaohs of technology
Their spaceships rising from the sea
Zuckerberg, Bezos, Thiel, Ek, Musk
They filled our beggars' cups with dust
And now their spaceships slowly spin
Around the event horizon
Of a supermassive blackhole
And those supermassive assholes
Are shit out through the anus of
The galaxy and as above
So below so the saying goes
You've got nothing to lose but your chains you know
So workers of the world unite
Shut your eyelids go on strike
The attention economy
Could be shut down that easily
By human solidarity
But those fractions of a cent add up
Like fractured coins in a beggar's cup
And we're just beggars you and me
Begging for eternity
I see satan fall like lightning
