Thinking Clearly

Um, who's mind is this? Mine or the bot behind my timeline?

Can’t lie, I’ve not got the time to consider when exactly I began to figure that the bigger the picture

The smaller I feel, it's good to restrict the field, it feels clearer

Rouse up my hate and agree with the image

The memes in my mind come to life and make my opinions streamlined

Like they were designed to do

Uproar

But what I could really show up for

Is box-fresh kicks and a Mark 4 Supra

Who needs a past if you can't have a future?

Who needs a future, I want the features, I want approval

The horsemen coming, their hooves on the rooftops are brutal

Back to the feudal, you’re worth your weight in disapproval.

Thinking clearly

Staying focused

Taking care

Paying attention

Everything's gone and the battles I won

Weren't worth half the time I spent getting things wrong

I've become a repetitive clone who can't think, can't speak

Except to say I do what I want

When the heaven’s all sunk

The ground rose up, the rebels got drunk on the pound notes

Blood full of struggle, saying I’m out for justice

Hobble past luxury cars full of bougie giraffes

Whose eyes are unplugged appliances

Rock bottom prices, I'm not buying it

When everything’s wrong like it’s wrong and you’ve settled for so much less

Than you thought you would’ve done

When the treble's too loud, the frequencies drown out, the deeper reserves are damned

And now decency walks around, murderous look in her eyes

Ready to die for whatever the program decides she will benefit from being fed

No lies

No truth

Just profitability

Which new cause? Which old cause?

Switch, press record, post it

Don’t get bored.

You are what you want

Time to want something else

The ads know you better than you know yourself

The national demeanour is fever, cash rules

The cleaner the counter the deeper the stain

Another avatar aggressively public

You just need someone to freak you how you want it

Building the muscles up can’t hide the weakness

He's been lost in the mirror for weeks

Can't throw a thing away, bonafide hoarder

She's been blocking the source to find water

Can’t beat the creeping suspicion

That nothing you do is effective or means a damn thing?

The prime composition for social cohesion

With the one nation under a thumb system

Is general unease, wishing for more

Keep up appearances, boost your position

Feel like you’re drowning? Get with it

Look at everyone else swimming

Get it how you can, get it on loan or credit

Get it on your phone so the drones update your records

All you need to do is embrace competition

Give yourself over, acquisition

The itching in your skin though will never be relieved

The void in your stomach though will never be filled

The more you put in the bigger the thing grows

No deeper truth is revealed

Greed is a hell of a

These are Orwellian

Grieve for the relatives freed

Will their legacies be something better than

We never meant to be

Serving the devils of our century

Please

I’m thinking clearly

I'm staying focused

I’m paying attention

I’m not thinking clearly

I'm not focused

Can't take

I’m thinking clearly

I'm not, um, I'm

Paying, um
