My February Sim Selections track. Really wanted to use the idea of Offline to bring forward how I've been feeling about social media more and more.
lyrics
A conduit
Into your mind
They look inside
See what they find
They rearrange
They mix it up
Blend culture till
It fills a cup
Then feed it to you
For some cash
Force gulp it down
You drink their trash
You let them in
Deep in your brain
To whisper til
You go insane
You let them in
Right through your phone
So you will never
Be alone
Delete that shit
Those social apps
Send Zuck and Musk
Right to your trash
There's other ways
To see your friends
Just for a day
Call it a cleanse
See them in person
Give a hug
Just for a moment
Pull the plug
Offline, offline, offline
Time to go
Offline, offline, offline
Offline, offline, offline
No phone now
Offline, offline, offline
Offline, offline, offline
Unplug it
Offline, offline, offline
They stoke dissent
Hostility
Make us forget
Civility
All so those bastards
Make a buck
And leave you feeling
Like a schmuck
The worse you feel
The more you need
It all just feeds
Into their greed
They have their place
Don't get me wrong
But shut them off
And sing along
