RIGHT NOW

How did everybody suddenly
Get so devoted to bullshit
Every day we try to swallow the ocean
It's getting harder to cope with
All the ignorance and
Do you remember back when everybody
Used to be human
Before we were branded and commodified
Categorized to monetize us
Reduce it all down to what can be sold
The elevator sales pitch black hole
Explain it to me like I'm five years old
Make me rich and powerful
I volunteered, the convenience is too hard to resist
I'm too entertained to remember what I miss
This is the feeling of right now
You want to quit but you don't know how
So if you're looking for a way out
Stay up and don't let the bastards get you down
But I've never been more connected
Another fake face with a smile
I find it's better if I just accept it
So I take my place with the hypocrites
Don't pretend I ever had a choice in that
When you live in two dimensions
Of course the world is flat
This is the feeling of right now
You want to quit but you don't know how
So if you're looking for a way out
Stay up and don't let the bastards get you down
Do you ever marvel at the arbitrary places
People plant their flags
Blind to all the ways in which their actions
Violate their moral claims
Well, I for one am tired of complying
While the algorithm hacks our brains
I promise you I'm never gonna buy it
If you promise me I'm not insane
I don't know
This is the feeling of right now
You want to quit but you don't know how
So if you're looking for a way out
Stay up and don't let the bastards get you down
