Me Vs. The Algorithm

Please plagiarize me

Help me live on

My industry’s looking dull

And I was on the brink of a personal best

But got replaced by something artificial

It’s like a backhanded miracle

The grief comes in waves

Couple more years and I'm Kelly Slater

Transcending to a lower plane

My brother keeps on about Q

And how there’s several enemies at home

My sister had a dream of the Soviet Union

And now she’s shouting through a megaphone

I do or don’t know what to say

There’s a 50/50 chance it’s all pre-determined in

A simulation anyway

Now you take care of me taking care of my self 'cause

Hey boss I'm trying my best

To candidly do what the camera man says

The more i think about it

The less i'm impressed

It’s me vs the algorithm

And love is not enough

Love is not enough

Come plagiarize me

I’m done marinating

Smoke me while you got me

Don’t save me for later

Couple more years we’re all Kelly Slater

Give me a chance

I’m not too gone to recognize

This isn’t my zone

Nah this isn’t my throne

This isn’t even my home

I can’t just sail away now

I can’t just sail away

Til you take care of me taking care of myself

Hey boss I'm trying my best to

Candidly do what the camera man says to

The more i think about it

The less I'm impressed

It’s me vs the algorithm

And love is not enough

Thanks for calling my bluff

There’s no capital T truth when it comes to this stuff

Poor boy nobody cares what your heart’s telling you

Their only care is what your brand can do

Love is not enough
