The Lonely 21st Century

Seems everybody's

lookin' for any way

To get high

Take em out of the day day

Till their reality's a lie

Dying for a thrill

Choking down the pills

While They steal all our information

Just to market us the newest

way to feel alive

We're turning into commercials

in disguise

Influencers selling garbage

Just to get some piece of some pie

Turn on the camera

Say the lines

Play the part & you won't have worry about

A spark lighting up your mind

Cuz It's so hard to know who to believe

When everybody's

selling everybody something

Starring endlessly into our screens

Its the blind leading the blind

It's so hard to know who to believe

When everybody's

selling everybody something

I didnt know this is how it would be

In the lonely 21st century

Connected isolation

Passing pain back and forth

We get from feeling alone

While this fictional creation

Stretches over everything

Weve ever known

Seems everybody's

Looking for any way

To get by

Connections everywhere

Fractured and frayed

So it aint no wonder why

Crooked politicians

Snake oil salesmen too

Are coming up with

Every terrible way

To fill that hole for you

And they dont care

If its true

Be careful or youll

Start doing what they do

Cuz It's so hard to know who to believe

When everybody's

selling everybody something

Starring endlessly into our screens

Its the blind leading the blind

It's so hard to know who to believe

When everybody's

selling everybody something

I didnt know this is how it would be

In the lonely 21st century
