Eyes feel like they’re bleeding

Sucked dry by hungry screens

Lost with my attention

I’ve no more fucks to give

 

The sheer fucking stupidity

Of basically

everyone

Makes it very very hard for me

To want to see

Alternatives to extinction

 

I have to remember

It’s not entirely their fault

Advertising works

And it shits in your head each day

 

Don’t believe me?  Well I wrote this song

On an expensive phone

That I didn’t need

After playing mindless video games

On a new console

That I could not afford

 

More shoes than I have feet

More wants than I have needs

 

When the headlines sell you

Distorted narratives

And when your best friends share you

Propaganda clips

 

What chance have you got to know a thing?

Beyond echoing

The way that choirs sing

The conductor’s baton’s tightening

It’s so frightening

How much we are losing

 

The sheer fucking stupidity/ Of basically/ everyone/ Makes it very very hard for me/ To want to see/ Alternatives to extinction

ALTERNATIVES TO EXTINCTION
