My eyes have turned to TVs

My soup has turned pea green

My brain is just a pc

Running on background

Algorithms decide my day

Facebook picks my friends

Dating is a series

Of mild lies

Beneath a deceptive picture

The whole of human attention

Is being directed by advertising

We’re just commodities now

Been traded by tech companies

It’s kind of sad

We’ve enough power

To do anything

Solve every human need

And we’re flicking

Through porn sites

And cat videos

And we’ve never been

So lonely

And we’ve never been

So unhappy.
