[Verse]

Give me another shot of dopamine

From my dopamine machine

I don’t even need a needle

A working finger’s all I need

I can see the seven wonders

From the comfort of my home

I don’t have to be unhappy

And I never feel alone


[Verse]

Give me another validation

From my validation machine

I can feel love emanating out

From just behind this screen

It’s manna for my restless mind

And candy for my eye

A man who’s always entertained

Won’t ever question why


[Chorus]

I don’t wanna be a part of this addict generation

I won’t sign away my sovereignty to a numb consumer nation

So stand up now, reclaim your primal right to be ignored

It’s never going to change if we forget how to be bored


[Verse]

Give me another shot of dopamine

Every time that we agree

I’ve finally found a place

Where everyone thinks just like me

I never have to hear dissent

And so I’m never wrong

As long as everyone’s the same

We all can get along


[Chorus]

I don’t wanna be a part of this addict generation

I won’t sign away my sovereignty to a numb consumer nation

So stand up now, reclaim your primal right to be ignored

It’s never going to change if we forget


[Bridge]

Oh, they won’t get the best of me

God knows I’m still free

I’m the king of my domain

I’m still calling all the shots

Could you hold on a second

I’ve got to take this...


[Chorus]

I don’t wanna be a part of this addict generation

I won’t sign away my sovereignty to a numb consumer nation

So stand up now, reclaim your primal right to be ignored

It’s never going to change if we forget


[Chorus]

I don’t ever wanna be, to be a part of this addict generation

I won’t sign away my sovereignty to a faceless corporation

So stand up now, reclaim your primal right to be ignored

It’s never going to change if we forget how to be bored
