COIN OPERATED WHORE

[INTRO — COIN MACHINE] [FX: Fluorescent buzz / mechanical clicking] [DISTORTED AUTOMATED VOICE]: "Please insert coin." [COIN DROPS] [FEMALE — whisper]: Oh... You want my attention? [Coin drops] My affection? [Coin drops] My devotion? [Short laugh] Darling... you couldn't afford it. [CASH REGISTER] FEMALE — SNARL: BUT KEEP TRYING. [DROP] [VERSE 1] Nickel-and-dime me, buy the dream, I'm the pretty little devil inside your machine. Paint me wicked, dress me obscene, make me everything you wanted to see. Drop your money, push my key. Tell yourself you're purchasing me. Another quarter, another lie— Baby, everything's available... IF THE PRICE IS HIGH. [PRE-CHORUS] Insert coin. Make your choice. Purchase my synthetic voice. Push the button. Turn the key. WELCOME TO THE LOVE ECONOMY. [CHORUS] COIN OPERATED WHORE! Put another dollar in! COIN OPERATED WHORE! Round and round we go again! Buy my smile, rent my name— Everybody wants a piece of the game! COIN OPERATED WHORE! Everybody pays to play! Thank you for your business... HAVE A FUCKED-UP DAY! [EDM DROP] [Coin cascade → Reese bass] Coin—coin—coin— PAY! Buy—buy—buy— PAY! Want—want—want— PAY! EVERYBODY FUCKING PAYS! [303 ACID DROP] [VERSE 2] Five-star rating, one-star soul, little red numbers tell me what I'm worth. Likes keep climbing. Heart stays cold. Funny how affection looks better when sold. Want a little fantasy? Pick your tier. Want me whispering sweet things in your ear? Love costs extra. Forever's a lie. And happiness? THAT'S PREMIUM—BUY! BUY! BUY! [PRE-CHORUS] Swipe. Approved. Tap. Approved. Heart? FOR SALE. Soul? FOR RENT. Thank you, darling... FOR EVERY FUCKING CENT. [CHORUS] COIN OPERATED WHORE! Put another dollar in! COIN OPERATED WHORE! Round and round we go again! Buy my smile, rent my name— Everybody wants a piece of the game! COIN OPERATED WHORE! Everybody pays to play! Thank you for your business... HAVE A FUCKED-UP DAY! [BREAKDOWN — MECHANICAL CABARET] [Broken piano / mechanical crank] [FEMALE — theatrical spoken]: Ladies... Gentlemen... Lonely little consumers... Step right up. We have everything. Attention! SOLD! Affection! SOLD! Validation! SOLD! Artificial adoration! SOLD! True love? [Silence] Oh, sweetheart... [CASH REGISTER] We're fresh out. [INDUSTRIAL BREAKDOWN] [Half-time guitars] PAY! ME! PAY! MORE! PAY! AGAIN! Round and round until the money ends! Buy! CONSUME! Want! REPEAT! Put your fucking heart— ON THE RECEIPT! [GUITAR / ACID INTERLUDE] [Grinding guitar trades phrases with 303] [FEMALE — distorted ad-libs]: Come on... Don't get shy now. You wanted me. You clicked. You watched. You paid. [Whisper] So... what exactly did you think you were buying? [BRIDGE — CLEAN MEZZO-SOPRANO] If I gave you something real, would you recognize the sound? If there wasn't anybody watching, would you still stick around? If my smile wasn't merchandise, if my heart had no receipt... Would you still call me beautiful without owning a piece of me? Maybe I'm not the product. Maybe you're not the king. Maybe we're both just prisoners... feeding the same machine. [DARK SPOKEN SECTION] Attention became currency. Affection became inventory. Desire became advertising. Loneliness became... a subscription service. [Coin drops] And everybody kept paying. [Another coin] And paying. [Another] And paying. [CASH REGISTER] Cha-ching. [BUILD] One coin... Want me. Two coins... Need me. Three coins... Tell yourself you love me. Four... MORE. Five... MORE! Six... MORE! MORE! MORE! KEEP THE FUCKING MACHINE ALIVE! [FINAL CHORUS] COIN OPERATED WHORE! Put another dollar in! COIN OPERATED WHORE! Everybody wants to win! Buy my body— Buy my name— Buy the fantasy— FEED THE GAME! COIN OPERATED WHORE! Round and round until we break! Everything looks genuine... WHEN YOU PAY ENOUGH TO FAKE! [FINAL EDM DROP] Insert coin. PAY! Make selection. PAY! Receive affection. PAY! CONSUME! DISCARD! REPLACE! [Guitar hit] COIN! [Kick] OPERATED! [Kick] WHORE! [MASSIVE DROP] [OUTRO — MACHINE FAILURE] [FX: Coin mechanism jams] [DISTORTED AUTOMATED VOICE]: "Transaction declined." [FEMALE]: Aw... What's wrong? [DISTORTED AUTOMATED VOICE]: "Insufficient funds." [FEMALE — amused]: Poor baby. [DISTORTED AUTOMATED VOICE]: "Please select another option." [FEMALE[: There isn't one. [Machine begins shutting down] [DISTORTED AUTOMATED VOICE:] "Thank you for purchasing authentic human connection." [Static] "Authenticity sold separately." [FEMALE — whisper]: No refunds. [COIN DROPS] Next customer. [HARD CUT]
