lyrics

When you can’t trust the image
From a photo booth
What you’re told is beautiful
Becomes the truth
The tech guru worships
What he won’t understand
In the algorithm
A new god’s hand
Black box commandments
But no promised land

Ten thousand copies of
A hurried thought
Engineered perfection
Boxed and left to rot
The thought leader gushes
That you’ll reap tenfold
In her new best seller
See the dream unfold
Obliterate your consciousness
And never grow old

In the algorithm
A new god’s hand
Black box commandments
Nno promised land
In the algorithm
A new god’s hand
Black box commandments
No promised land
