about

Who is using who? Social media uses you.

lyrics

Maybe your brain
Is slowing down
But your smart phone speed
Is as fast as sound

The world-wide-web
Google’s credit card
But PageRank bias
Means they’ve gone too far

The search you do
May give you what you seek
But your profile stats
Only make you weak

You’re riding on a cloud
Mr. Data and you
But the shit he knows
The Homeland does too

Chorus:
You think you’re a user, but you’re really the used
Just a cog in the wheel of the growing confused
Empowerment comes at the drop of a mouse
So turn off that screen and burn down the house

Facebook likes
all the Likes you like
but so do the companies
that buy your rights

your address and your preferences
are on the block
but like a few dislikes
and give’em a shock

search up the random
to googley screw
their profile page
starts to look askew

your power’s in the random
so take it back
your predictability is
what they hack
