it tells me when to laugh
it tells me when to cry
it tells me who to mourn
i often wonder why
i care about someone
i've never even met
if there's a good reason
i haven't heard it yet
social isolation
is such a minor cost
prison for my brain
i'm living with the lost
i fell for their bait
and watched their stupid shows
i watched their stupid ads
now i need one of those
turn off your tv
stop living a lie
it's time to live your life
maybe go outside
turn off your tv
stop living a lie
it's time to live your life
maybe go outside
barrage of images
telling me to buy
stupid fucking crap
can't improve my life
i can't function
or think anymore
they don't care
as long as I go to their store
my brain is a prison
of my own design
not a social construct
but a total waste of time
i'm just a product
someone else will buy
i'm a fucking product
a wallet without a mind
