Verse 1:
This is great, it starts with an emergency,
Power grab, broken stab, blame the ones across the sea.
Algorithms shape the news, dopamine hits keep us fused,
Scrollin’, likin’, share the fear, echo chambers engineer.
Telescreens are in our hands, tracking clicks and shifting plans,
History erased in feeds, facts replaced with viral memes.
Borders redrawn overnight, war machines in endless flight,
Tell me who controls the fight,
It’s the money, it’s the power, it’s the grift.
Pre-Chorus:
The Chairman’s live from the 18th hole,
Smilin’ big, he’s in control,
Caddy hands him the perfect club,
Swinging while the world erupts.
Chorus:
It’s the end of the world as we know it,
It’s the end of the world as we know it,
It’s the end of the world as we know it,
And I feel numb.
Verse 2:
Misinformation floods the stream,
Everything’s a waking dream,
Pay-to-play, loyalty score,
Shut your mouth or lose it all.
Lotta talk, no oversight,
Billionaires divide the fight,
History loops in a single night,
The wars keep churning, keep on burning.
They sold us peace and gave us pain,
Took our rights, then sold ‘em back again.
Marching forward, eyes are dry,
Applause signs flashing in the sky.
Pre-Chorus:
The cities burn, the drones take flight,
Can’t escape the watchful eye,
Muted voices, shadowbanned,
Disappear at their command.
Chorus:
It’s the end of the world as we know it,
It’s the end of the world as we know it,
It’s the end of the world as we know it,
And I feel numb.
Bridge:
Don’t think too hard, don’t dig too deep,
The algorithm sings you back to sleep.
No past, no truth, just a moving screen,
Smile wide, obey the machine.
Outro:
It’s the end of the world as we know it,
And I feel numb.
It’s the end of the world as we know it,
And I feel numb.
It’s the end of the world as we know it,
And I feel numb.
(Scrolling… Liking… Watching… Obeying… It’s fine… It’s fine… It’s fine…)
