[Intro – breath & receipt-scanner beeps] “Thinking ‘bout the thoughts we buy— Every beep a lullaby…” [Verse 1 – Average Line] Thinking ‘bout thoughts that a wallet just caught, Checkout serenity—digital fraught. Mental minutes minting cents of attention, Psychic inflation, manic ascension. Carlin still chuckles through fluorescent hum: “Average out the species—look what we’ve become.” Normie IQ reclines—mediocre throne, Bottom half naked, scrolling on their phone. Bureaucratic maze tags democracy’s price, Idiocracy bred with pants on head spice. [Pre-Chorus – Zeitgeist Undressed] Zeitgeist undressed, algorithms confess, We’re breeding bitter futures in a bargain-brand mess. [Chorus – Swipe & Surrender] Swipe, swipe—paid in time, Thoughts on the shelf in a checked-out mind. Moonshot dreams or monsoon mind— Tell me where you focus the finite shine. [Verse 2 – Mania & Merit] Saw words on paper: MANIA—inked in fever font, Gilded thought-police parade their pompous hunt. No meritocracy, just daft regalia— Ceremonial masks, shallow paraphernalia. Compass spun chrome toward futures unseen, Directionally tuned to a phosphor-green screen. Felt the circuitry hum, a pulse through mind bones— A roadmap etched in haptic dopamine tones. [Bridge – Lunar Riddle] Aim the lens, friend— Selene or cyclone? Still tide or wild ride, Quiet stone or thunder’s throne? [Chorus – Swipe & Surrender] Swipe, swipe—paid in time, Thoughts on the shelf in a checked-out mind. Moonshot dreams or monsoon mind— Choose your echo before the decline. [Outro – Receipt Confetti] A silver coin spins on the tongue of the night, Heads for the moon, tails for tropical blight. When the paper trail settles and the beeps fall mute, Will we walk in moon-glow, or drown in monsoon-root?
