# I Just Dropped a New Album [Verse 1] I pressed a button marked “Create” It looked important, so I did A little box, a little name A brand-new way to play the same I had a list of songs before Now I can call it something more I gave it one impressive name And suddenly it became a game [Pre-Chorus] Now everybody gets to know Exactly what I chose to show [Chorus] I just dropped a new album Did you hear the sound? I just dropped a new album There are twenty more around I just dropped a new album And the system’s doing great I just dropped a new album Please congratulate me eight times straight [Verse 2] Your phone begins to light the room Another one has dropped too soon Then someone else, and someone else And now you’ve got a thousand shelves A notification says “New Album” You click it just to see what happened Another artist, another list Another thing you didn’t miss Somebody posted something good You’ll never know, because you could Have thirty albums in the queue Between the things that mattered to you [Pre-Chorus] The signal used to mean a thing Now every bell is everything [Chorus] I just dropped a new album Did you hear the sound? I just dropped a new album There are forty more around I just dropped a new album It’s a very special day I just dropped a new album So your useful notifications went away [Verse 3] Then I clicked “Publish” — clean and fast A masterpiece was built to last Except the lyrics disappeared Apparently they weren’t needed here The song is there, the words are gone But somehow this is still “turned on” You try to leave a comment too The little box refuses you You close the page, you try again You type the same thing once, then ten The feature works, the feature fails The documentation grows some tales [Bridge] This isn’t a playlist It’s an album Please respect the difference This isn’t a playlist It’s an album We added one more button This isn’t a playlist It’s an album Look how official it sounds This isn’t a playlist It’s an album [Instrumental Break] [Verse 4] Now every person has a disc With songs they made at half past six No need to wait, no need to choose Just press the button, make some news The feed is full of grand releases Tiny digital masterpieces Everyone is suddenly A record label, apparently And somewhere underneath the noise There might be something worth your choice A message from a friend you know But first: twelve albums in a row [Chorus] I just dropped a new album Did you hear the sound? I just dropped a new album There are fifty more around I just dropped a new album Everything is working fine I just dropped a new album And I’m sure this was a brilliant design [Final Chorus] I just dropped a new album Nothing could go wrong I just dropped a new album Now the lyrics aren’t along I just dropped a new album Now the comments don’t appear I just dropped a new album And I haven’t seen a useful notice all year [Outro] Congratulations to the future Congratulations to the plan I just dropped a new album ...again.
