Lyrics and translation
Original
I saw the news today, and bein' human is a losin' game
We're doomed to play, numb to the pain
So distracted that we don't notice as our last chance slowly passes
And collapses
Yeah, watch the world fall off its axis
Watch the bombs go off, paid for by your taxes
Watch the Met Ball, watch the brainrot
Watch the Go-Pro footage of the headshot
Genocide with a right click (right click)
Advertisements make you want to buy shit (buy shit, buy shit)
It's a constant drip of
Dopamine, more dopamine
Welcome to the hell we're livin' in
And the endin' of the world, we're witnessin'
You can cry for help, no one's listenin'
No, no one's listenin'
Welcome to the hell we're livin' in
And the overexposure's sickenin'
You can cry for help, no one's listenin'
No one's listenin', so listen in
Watch the stars walk the red carpet
Watch the cops shoot the wrong girl in her own apartment
Become a slave to the free market
Where you pick up the gun or become the target
Watch the downfall, watch the closin' credits
It's over, forget it
You know where it's headed, straight to the gutter
Watch as the winter warms up like summer
Watch it all through your new smartphone
With a battery mined by a child in a war zone
Then pretend to be ignorant, watch the cognitive dissonance
Watch the court get stacked (stacked), the bad guy win (win)
Watch, 'cause you're lookin' at the mess you're in
This phone is a mirror, and I am just a reflection
Dopamine, more dopamine
Welcome to the hell we're livin' in
And the endin' of the world, we're witnessin'
You can cry for help, no one's listenin'
No, no one's listenin'
Welcome to the hell we're livin' in
And the overexposure's sickenin'
You can cry for help, no one's listenin'
No one's listenin', so listen in
The overlappin' disaster, intersectional violence, I wanna just
The maintainin' of power in the final hour, I wanna just
Climbin' up broken ladders, nothin' really matters, I wanna just
Don't know where to begin, so I shatter the window, and then I just
Fuck, whoo
The overlappin' disaster
The overlappin' disaster, intersectional violence
I wanna just
