lyrics

Another revolution ... Another frivolation
Another diversion ... Another cessation
Another fabrication ... Another dilution
Another derision ... Another execution

Itchy fingertips twitch to gather
Trivial lists and pseudo data
The distractions now not far apart
You are quite the multitasker
Excerpts whittled to the bone
Cortisol bursts from rife infomania
Ellipses lead you by the hand
As semantic pathways are severed

On factoids we feed...
...Misinformation to glean...
...Opioids flow...
...The striatum slows

(Lead: A new viral scourge)

Crystallized memories desiccated
Thirst for knowledge inexorably parched
Now quenched by the monetised streams
With hyper-immediacy, so stark
Forget everything you’ve ever learned and
Replace that with ‘What happens next...’
A new generation to quantify
Destroy our way to retain and index

Thrilling technology
The nucleus accumbens
Rewards for the minutiae
By which we are encumbered
Rank tidbits and morsels
Now clutter up your mind
Tilting novelty bias
Cognitively compromised
Dopamine addicts frenziedly click
Learning cortex rewired
Another day, another dolour
Neurologically expired
Biologically wasting slime
Brain function nullified
Prior knowledge is retired
Your basal ganglia now atrophied

Fragmented and scrambled
Our fucking teasment grows
This terminal, sad discourse
Erudition in its death-throes
Stripped and sterilised
Diffused and dumbed down
Destined to suck you under
Awash in infotainment you drown
Sanitised and digitised
A hi-res devolution
Pacified and quantised
Encephalopathy by computers
The human racehorse has tripped
The curtain is wheeled out
Just as we won’t see
As our own lights go out

(Lead: Keybored pandemic)
