[Intro] Phone face, blue glow Eyes locked, thumb go Same feed, new scroll Yeah, they own your soul (ey) [Verse 1] Wake up, tap in, first hit to the brain Timeline drip, dopamine in my veins Every lil’ click, lil’ tap, lil’ share (ey) Somebody in a tower countin’ that stare Talk tough online, quiet in real life Argue in the comments, scroll past your wife Bought what they sold me, twice in a week Algorithm talkin’ while I barely even speak (yeah) [Chorus] We the media slaves, chains in our hands Pray to the screen, do a lil’ dance Scroll till you sleep, wake up, same trance They own your eyes, they own your plans We the media slaves, singin’ they song Thinkin’ it’s ours, hum it all day long Scroll till you sleep, can’t look away They feed the feed, we just play [Verse 2] Post my plate, my fit, my flex Pray for a heart on a lil’ blue check Give ’em my data, my face, my friends They flip that script, turn it into rent Endless ads, “Buy this, be that” Sell me a dream then sell me it back Miss my stop, lost in the loop Didn’t see life, just another dance group (woah) Kids learn slang from a thirty-second clip Trustin’ every headline, never let it flip Truth get cropped, cut down, re-framed Ten-second story with a lifetime stain [Chorus] We the media slaves, chains in our hands Pray to the screen, do a lil’ dance Scroll till you sleep, wake up, same trance They own your eyes, they own your plans We the media slaves, singin’ they song Thinkin’ it’s ours, hum it all day long Scroll till you sleep, can’t look away They feed the feed, we just play [Bridge] Who pick the fights we see? Who choose the “you” we be? (yeah) Who turn your fear to funds? Who count your clicks like crumbs? Ask yourself, “Who that voice?” Is it you, or someone’s choice? If you feel that chain on your face Hit lock, step back, reclaim space [Chorus] We the media slaves, chains in our hands Pray to the screen, do a lil’ dance Scroll till you sleep, wake up, same trance They own your eyes, they own your plans We the media slaves, singin’ they song Thinkin’ it’s ours, hum it all day long Scroll till you sleep, can’t look away They feed the feed, we just play
