you’re watching the world through a screen
there’s always something in between you and what’s happening
direct experience is hard to find
technology, symbols, and signs
telling us what to think, what to buy, and how to comb our hair
what to drink, when to lie, numb our senses so we don’t care
we’ll watch the pavement grow
we’ll watch it on a screen, watch the world die
the headlines will tell us it’s all fine
the system is at work, in our defense against the earth
if we’ll watch the pavement grow
some say it’s neutral
they say it’s how you use it
i say that’s bullshit
this technology exists to serve the rich
and keep down the poor, keep us distracted and uninformed
so we’ll watch the pavement grow
we’ll watch it on our phones
