Lyrics -
We can look anywhere, at calls and responses all these walls
To the uninitiated it would look like a brawl
Our betters listen in, other taken the fall
Partly our fault

It handles everything, all the services we could ever need
Make life frictionless, sign something we'll never read
Tip your Typhoid Mary cuz we can never leave
Time of death and greed

Here we are locked into our homes
Listen to the pundits drone on and on
Flexing on conspiracies, arguing empirically
Circle back around and nothing gets solved

Might be because my mind is getting bent
I could swear the strife's no accident
Cuz you're acting like the only one who's hurting
Is it just me or is the world outpouring with pain?

We're at the mercy of whim
Noble inventions wearing wolf's skin
A few big players hold too much sway
How can a distant few understand our race?

We all shut up cuz we need the rent
Getting brutalised if we start to vent
There's a price for pushing people farther and we'd rather
Sit back but it's hard to relax

We can't afford anything
But you advertise, extend me a line
Even half the time, I can't tell what is even mine
The pace is blistering, losing all sense of time
Feeling left behind

Work the 40 hour week
Sink or swim, we can only tread
Robber barons so generous
Give us now our daily bread
Who thought that the brightest light would catch us unprepared
Can't sleep, i'm scared

Have to focus amid the noise
All fine appearance, no grace or poise
Living in complicity
Everything we buy or read
Take a ticket, you're in line for opportunity

I didn't say that I agreed to this
Just nature, said the shark to the fish
There's no curbing or dissuading, they'll just keep on masticating
Til we're braver and stop being prey

Pyramid scheme now fully digitised
Took a while but now we realise
Caged in dopamine, passed the point we get out clean
Clues to mitigate it if you read our browsing history

Have to say that we'd make a better show
Writing's uneven and the pacing doesn't flow
All in the edit, setting up a precedent
Network only good as its weakest link

Hey, we get it, you want to escape
While we put out the flames, you'll just have to wait
Denying the fumes are choking us both
Crops spoil in the field, demanding more growth

Getting hard not to use the past tense
Monopolies breaking peace for dividends
Spreading illness, ignore the evidence
Grand finale for a captive audience

Hey, we get it, always had things your way
You can fight it, but opinions are swayed
Put out the ads, fake news to repost
World is changing, and it's not what you know

All the backlash, cancelling who you hate
Doesn't cut it, pariahs will be replaced
Surface reading, you'll never get enough
We're all connected, much more than we're worth

See the web we weave
Wasn't founded on greed
Hey yeah
Young and full of hope
Built by the great unclean

See the web we weave
Wasn't founded on greed
Hey yeah
Young and full of hope
Built by the great unclean

See the web we weave
Wasn't founded on greed
Hey yeah
Young and full of hope
Built by the great unclean
