Copy Paste

Copy paste, copy paste

Go stake your claim

It all looks the same

Buzz words on the home page, “disrupt everything”

I don’t think we really needed this much anything

It’s all going digital, nothing is original no more

Make your profile, no one’s an individual no more

If you’re having problems, here’s customer support

Copy paste, copy paste, copy paste, cut the cord

We can help you save time, we can help you waste time

Can’t tell if you’re AI, I just want some face time

Can’t put my phone down, I can’t pull my head up

Copy pasting links to share with you off of TechCrunch

Sacrifice my data to the demigods

You can’t buy privacy on Amazon

Everything eternalized, replicated information

Copy paste across different databases

Optimize, maximize, monetize

Copy paste the formula a hundred thousand times

Everybody wanna be Jobs and Wozniak

You can’t copy that, industry is full of copycats

Make it all open source

Copy paste lines of code that ain’t yours

Not enough space, I need storage

Not enough apps, we need more

(Chorus)

Copy paste, copy paste (it’s all the same)

Copy paste, copy paste (it’s all the same)

Copy paste, copy paste (it’s all the same)

Copy paste, copy paste

It’s about the process, no it’s about the profits

Let’s copy paste knowledge, and make a machine conscious

Duplicate the template to copy, just repeat

Don’t you try to speak for yourself, just retweet

And of course I’m guilty too, I’m not building nothing new

Got no real points of view, I got those off Hacker News

Tell it like the wheel was being reinvented

Taking all the credit for regurgitated methods

The revolution will be streamed live

Watch it on your HTC Vive

Copy paste the whole world with a 3D printer

Hit ctrl-C, ctrl-V we’re all winners

(Chorus)

Copy paste, copy paste (it’s all the same)

Copy paste, copy paste (it’s all the same)

Copy paste, copy paste (it’s all the same)

Copy paste, copy paste
