lyrics

t’s a bidding war for your thoughts
They’ll never come free anymore

Somewhere between cryptocurrency
And hypnotherapy
The marketeers pray
To master click-bait

Like a dark art, dark thoughts
Are traded and they're fought for
Every second thought you're fed
You'll be taxed for

You've been chipped, you've been collared
You'll dream in billboards and banners
You've been made, you've been measured
They’ll know you better than you know yourself

It's a bidding war for your thoughts
They'll never come free anymore
There's no room to breathe
That can't be seized
In this attention economy

Somewhere between false economy
And invasion of privacy
The algorithms pry
Dark corners of your mind
Like a conquest, the con is
They tell you that you want it
So you accept their target
And thank them for it

You've been chipped, you've been subscribed
And you'll pay with your life

Ch.

You’re just a small fish in a big think tank
Drowning in brands that
See your sentience as a commodity
They’ll never give you room to breathe
