Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes

[Instrumental intro] [Intro] Scrollin’ fast, brain on sleep mode Every trend says “trust me, bro” Fame looks close through a glowing screen But nobody posts what it really means [Verse 1] Prank channel said “It’s just for fun” Fake robbery, public stunt gone wrong Someone panicked, sirens loud Joke hit different in a scared-ass crowd Views went up, then cuffs came fast Turns out clicks don’t stop the past [Chorus] Play stupid games, win stupid prizes Internet dares don’t come with licenses Do it for clout, pay it back twice, yeah Play stupid games, win stupid prizes [Instrumental] [Verse 2] Went viral yellin’ at a random face “Free speech,” screamed in the workplace Boss saw the clip before lunch break Badge got cut, career got erased Comments laughed, then moved along While rent came due and the job was gone [Chorus] Play stupid games, win stupid prizes Online courage fades in crises Screens go dark, reality bites, yeah Play stupid games, win stupid prizes [Instrumental] [Verse 3] Crypto guru in a rented car Said “Guaranteed, we’re going to Mars” Charts looked good, emojis flew Trusted strangers I never knew Wallet empty, Discord dead “Long-term vision,” is what they said [Bridge] The internet claps, then disappears Doesn’t stay for the fallout years They hype the jump, not the fall They don’t hear the silence after all [Outro] Common sense ain’t trending now But it’s cheaper than learning how Be smart, slow down, read the signs These people online are not your friends They don’t pay your bills, don’t share your pain Log off before you play the game again
