lyrics

Waiting for
the meeting to end
I’ve got more
email to send

I don’t know the purpose
but I can pretend
I don’t mind
I do it for the money

The king
surveyed the
conference room
and sang an old familiar tune

The more they’re divided
the more they’ll consume
I think you all know what to do
do it for the money

I only read headlines
the articles bore me
there couldn’t be
a more obvious warning

the hills are all burning
it’s still getting drier
the sky is on fire
the sky is on fire

We all want
someone to blame
someone to shun
someone to shame

Just give ‘em a sound bite
keep feeding their rage
put more ads up on the page
and we’ll keep making money

I read all the headlines
but there's no surprises
pundits and liars
protest and riots

The hills are all burning
it’s still getting drier
the sky is on fire
the sky is on fire

A fatal flaw
of human design
we'll scroll until
we’re pacified

A dopamine dripline
get back to the grind
a few more likes
and you'll be fine
just do it for the money
