Oh man, don’t even know where to start
It’s like standing at the town square as it all falls apart
Critical thinking is critically sinking
It’s among us, like a fungus, as the lights keep on blinking
An attack on the dominion of the personal opinion
and the average civilian might as well become a minion
When the power of the people turns into a screaming contest
The winners are the liars, the puppets, the trolls, the rating monsters
They can mess with the foundations of a whole civilization
by replacing facts with fiction, information saturation
Make the truth a numbers game and conquer by division,
It’s the oldest trick in the book and it’s scary to look how many are biting the hook
No shame is the name of the game
Reframe the ideals of a nation
Insane how easy it is to sway
useful fools on parade, just choose the occasion
Sock puppet, how could something sounding so naive be so disruptive?
Sock puppet, hides a black heart deep inside a cyber sleeve
Corrupted muppet
Conviction without knowledge, the easiest redemption
Get busy dying making up your mind in just few seconds
You wanted fast and easy? Well baby there you have it,
The road to hell is full of good intentions and bad habits
Lightspeed information, no time for complication
Just a confirmation of your virtue, ain’t you special?
Your obsession with reputation locked you in an echo mansion
With faceless hosts and nameless ghosts, no time for conversation
Up on the podium, an acrimonious, vendor of hate
Feeding them phobia, almost like opium to the uninitiated
Spreads like a fire, a pandemonium,
Do you bother to check who spilled the petroleum?
almost Pavlovian, rinse and repeat that shit
You know the saying - you are what you eat
Inflame is the name of the game
Engage the need for attention
Insane how easy it is to tame
Those who are entertained by their own reflection
Sock puppet, how could something sounding so naive be so disruptive?
Sock puppet, hides a black heart deep inside a cyber sleeve
Corrupted muppet
Sock puppet, how could something sounding so naive be so corrupted?
Sock puppet, it’s hard to believe
that we can stop it
Oh man, don’t even know where to start
It’s like standing at the town square as it all falls apart
But to fix this situation, gotta be in conversation
And our content moderation gotta rise to the occasion
Cause I’m not gonna lie, the stakes are mighty high
There is no fucking try, it’s do or die
