lyrics

[Ursula K. Leguin sample]

once consent was manufactured
now it's harvested for clicks
algorithms make decisions
filter bubbles make us sick

we're all connected to machines
hate every second but we just can't look away
we all wanna be seen but behind the screen
there's a nightmare dressed up as a dream
and we can't wake up

[Jacinta Gonzalez sample]

every thought every emotion
charted processed optimized
eye movements facial expressions
manipulation monetized

we're all connected to machines
hate every second but we just can't look away
we all wanna be seen but behind the screen
there's a nightmare dressed up as a dream
and we can't wake up

an infinite playground, a library
of human creativity
they paved it over, put up walls
now it's billboards, big box, shopping malls

we're all connected to machines
hate every second but we just can't look away
we all wanna be seen but behind the screen
there's a nightmare dressed up as a dream
and we can't wake up

[Malkia Cyril sample]
