Wish This Was Clickbait!
I wish this was clickbait
Wish I wasn't correct
Wish all this was all-caps lies and title text
But distractions aside
I've a message to send
No trending agenda and no truths to bend
I'm just trying to tell you
While you're on your screen
Captivated by meticulously structured machines
Made to make a distraction and gather new fans
There are issues glossed cleverly over at hand
What's gone wrong is the way our governments are collapsing
What's emotional is troubled and hurt youth relapsing
On pills that are sponsored by miracle workers
That keep their cash flowing by lying and acting
While your content's counting up countless new views
Our violence and crime rates rise up through the roofs
Roofs that are torn down, demolished by storms
While I'm tryna scream at you over these chords
That we need to stop letting these pretenders win
We need to stop letting these industries in
To our lives and our private exposed information
They're trying to maintain a clean reputation
And give us an alternate world to accept
I wish this was clickbait and I wasn't correct
I wish this was clickbait, I wish I was wrong
I wish I could only write lighthearted songs
But a lighthearted song is like paper and dust
And the modern world's built on deceit and distrust
To conclude and close out, just so you won't forget
I wish this was clickbait and I wasn't correct
Wish I wasn't correct
Wish all this was all-caps lies and title text
But distractions aside
I've a message to send
No trending agenda and no truths to bend
I'm just trying to tell you
While you're on your screen
Captivated by meticulously structured machines
Made to make a distraction and gather new fans
There are issues glossed cleverly over at hand
What's gone wrong is the way our governments are collapsing
What's emotional is troubled and hurt youth relapsing
On pills that are sponsored by miracle workers
That keep their cash flowing by lying and acting
While your content's counting up countless new views
Our violence and crime rates rise up through the roofs
Roofs that are torn down, demolished by storms
While I'm tryna scream at you over these chords
That we need to stop letting these pretenders win
We need to stop letting these industries in
To our lives and our private exposed information
They're trying to maintain a clean reputation
And give us an alternate world to accept
I wish this was clickbait and I wasn't correct
I wish this was clickbait, I wish I was wrong
I wish I could only write lighthearted songs
But a lighthearted song is like paper and dust
And the modern world's built on deceit and distrust
To conclude and close out, just so you won't forget
I wish this was clickbait and I wasn't correct
