lyrics

I was born in the wrong century
I’ve got an old soul
Least that’s what they tell me
I ate the burning coal
I’ve got a prophet’s heart
I’m set apart
For a certain role
I’m not here
I’m above it all
Pay
Pay to play
Get’s you an entire day
With Sasha Grey
Lay her down
Pass her around
Nothing’s off the menu
Everything’s allowed
Her value fluctuates with markets
But she’s priced by the pound
We are flushed from our pleasures
We lust after new leisures
Millions of mirrors peer out of our pockets.
Inject me with the latest viral video
My offending right eye
Let it rot from its socket
I’ll camp out all night on the filthy sidewalk
I’m twelfth in a line that triples round the block
One more 14% APR for a
subscription service to life.
I've got the deathly hallows tattooed on my arm
A dream catcher on my thigh to protect me from harm
Designing an identity
Stamping a brand
So when I go to heaven God knows
Who’s cash cow I am
GoFind me some seed money I'll help you grow
Guarantee we can increase your SEO
Exhume consume
Drink down the fumes
Blue bottle flies swarming around our heads
Towing advertising banners to help you get ahead
Bring on the locusts
Fighting for your focus
Our ziggurat rises high
In a circuit board sky
Can't keep my metaphors straight
I've got content to create
The latest click bait
Why don’t you watch me masturbate?
Haven't you seen haven't you heard
Our value shall be quantified by Google ad words
Blubber my troubles to the motherboard
I’ll bleed gleeful on my keyboard
My wounds won’t be ignored
Let them fester in the call-out culture
I’m a social justice vulture
I'm no joke I'm woke I'm proud
I’ll live forever in the cloud
I’ll spread my legs bare my heart gape my brain
Hardwire me by the veins
I’m caught rapturously hung by these threads
Grandstand resplendent on my bed
Waiting for the Crawlers to feast upon me
On the world wide web
