[Verse]

Most people online

Do not actively post

What you see is a pipeline

Of putting on a show

[Pre-Chorus]

Learn from what it feeds you

Be careful what you consume

[Chorus]

It’s the algorithm

Pushing content to you

Reinforcing your feelings

With bots and ai slop

It wants a reaction

Or your attention

Your online usage is a metric

To be fed back to

The algorithm

[Verse]

Attention spans have dropped

And people won’t read

Unless it is a controversial thought

Pawning your data and money

[Pre-Chorus]

Learn from what it feeds you

Be careful what you consume

[Chorus]

It’s the algorithm

Pushing content to you

Reinforcing your feelings

With bots and ai slop

It wants a reaction

Or your attention

Your online usage is a metric

To be fed back to

The algorithm

[Bridge]

It’s abnormal to be solo surfing

On an island away from civilization

Monoculture on this scale is weird

Based on the next thing they want to sell you

And being told how to feel

Will truly be the death of our country

Not from divisive politics

But the apathy drawn from your doomscrolling

[Chorus]

It’s the algorithm

Pushing content to you

Reinforcing your feelings

With bots and ai slop

It wants a reaction

Or your attention

Your online usage is a metric

To be fed back to

The algorithm

[Outro]

If they can make a profit

Loopholes will always be found

Unless we grow a backbone

The grift goes on and on

And on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and

Ugh
