From the recording Outsider in Perpetual Motion
Lyrics
Emotional Hacking
Verse 1
I admit I'm too skinny to twerk
Demystifying sex just don't work
Guess I'll never, ever go viral
That's my career on a downward spiral
I don't do Instagram or Twitter
Can't compete with the Kardashian glitter
I'm too reserved and disengaged
Miley and me are not on the same page
Pre Chorus 1
My thumbs are not that fast, my selfies suck
Bombarded with messages from dawn till dusk
Never been cyberstalked by a weirdo
What's that? A drone outside my bedroom window?
Chorus 1
No emoji can describe my mood
I don't fit in, I've got no tattoos
The spotlight shines on an empty stage
Set for the next flavour of the day
And here I am searching for clues
But I'm not the one who made these rules
Infomercials, ads and promotions
Guess what! You can't hack my emotions
Verse 2
Dot coms moving in for the kill
Selling stuff you don't even need
Time and money in front of a screen
Zuckerberg and Bezos are obscenely rich
What about us and what about love?
All you have to do is go online
You fall in love with a cyber photo
Then you meet and he's like Quasimodo
Pre chorus 2
My thumbs are not fast, my selfies suck
Bombarded with fake news from dawn till dusk
Holding on to my private life, like an heirloom
Hey! Who put that camera in the bathroom?
Chorus 2
No emoji can describe my mood
This is my anthem, this is my truth
I'm spam alert, so practice caution
A lone outsider in perpetual motion
And here I am searching for clues
But I'm not the one who made these rules
Infomercials, ads and promotions
Guess what! You can't hack my emotions
Bridge
Dear Andy Warhol, George Orwell, Nostradamus
How could you know, foresee the future status
Wi-fi, satellites, cellphones and tabs
It's a quicksand of electronic fun
Chorus to end (Chorus 1 or Chorus 2)
