[Verse 1]

I’m desperate to connect

Can I find it in my phone

How many likes until I don’t feel so alone

My life is on display for all these strangers to appraise

But if I die tomorrow will they just unfollow anyway

Or could I be like Jesus in the twenty-seven club

And get the world to really love the idea of who I was, yeah

Pay me for my face, an aesthetic to uphold

And fund my facial upgrades for when I get too old

If you want pretty for forever, then I’m happy to oblige

Be my puppet mastеr, make sure to like, sharе, and subscribe

I’m my fucking business, I don’t have a private life

And if I don’t announce my status, the truth becomes a lie

[Chorus]

Because my audience and I

Are thirsty for exposure

And I’ll take off my shirt

To get my real message heard, yeah

My audience and I

Are thirsty for exposure

I’ll take off my shirt

To get my real message heard, woah

[Verse 2]

How far are you willing to go to make your dreams come true

Can you cure your identity until there’s nothing left of you

We need something to market

You gotta get your numbers up

Your music’s really great kid, but the social’s not enough

So I’ll make sure I’m straight passing, to guarantee my fame

And make sure not to tarnish my only professional name

Thousands of opinions on my face from day to day

It’s enough to drive the best and most secure slightly insane

Whether you’re crying from the comments

Made out to be a god

You’ll lose your own humility

Here’s the wheel and you’re the cog

[Chorus]

My audience and I

Are thirsty for exposure

I’ll take off my shirt

To get my real message heard, yeah

My audience and I

Are thirsty for exposure

I’ll take off my shirt

To get my real message heard, yeah

My audience and I

Are thirsty for exposure

I’ll take off my shirt

To get my real message heard

[Bridge]

Do you like that?

Do you like that?

[Verse 3]

Now friendship is a follow

So if you don’t follow me then that must mean our fragile friendship is coming to an end, right?

Real life is next, craning down to LED

And comparing our own lives to reality TV

But the script doesn’t even stop, when we press power down

We’ve forgotten how to notice when people are actually around, yeah

Let’s go out to dinner and check our Instagrams all night

I’ll have some validation, please

With a side of truffle fries

You gotta post more content, keep your audience engaged

The curtain's never closing and your life is now a stage

But nobody is perfect there’s no need to apologise

No one wants to fucking see what you had for dinner last night

So, it’s time to power down, Alexa take a nap

Need a breath of fresh air before I’ll be coming back

To a virtual reality we’re already living in

Artificial Intelligence, but it’s starting to win

[Chorus]

My audience and I

Are thirsty for exposure

I’ll take off my shirt

To get my real message heard, yeah

My audience and I

Are thirsty for exposure

I’ll take off my shirt

To get my real message heard, yeah

My audience and I

Are thirsty for exposure

I’ll take off my shirt

To get my real message heard

Yeah we’re all so fucking desperate for indecent exposure

So I’ll take it all off

To get my real message heard
