DIGITAL DESCARTES

from RHYMES 'N' PUNS 'N' SHIT by LOSTBOYEVSKY

/

lyrics

Fools' Facebook profiles are like life advertisements
"Don't you want my shit its all so happy and vibrant!"
And profile pictures are fakest smile contests
Like damn, life gets fucked up sometimes people, be honest
But fuck it all let's watch another fail compilation
The hyperreal is chill, dig the simulacra and simulation
I'm neo-Rousseau meditating on social media social contracts
"Let's agree to never see each other except on that . . .
Twitter Vine Pinterest Google Plus Snapchat"
Dudes like "look I'm cool look! two females and a snapback!"
Perhaps that's whack; it's hard to say like episcopalian
Buzzfeed lists are... um, the opposite of salient
Your first world problems sound absurd like flying newts
If you post those petty whinings I'll probably hide you
Post radical shit; the NSA might come and find you
But we accept the spies, hmmm... sign of the times dude
Social networking might be elaborate Foucaldian biopower
This new world is strange like Eddie Valentine on Rocket Power
"Follow me!" "Friend me!" "Find me on LinkedIn!"
Innovation of Loneliness; you should let that sink in
Christians spamming evidence of their dedication to Christ
And I just got back from rehab for my addiction to "likes"
I share therefore I am; call me digital Descartes
Humans love candy crush saga but hate art
I earned my pHd on Wikipedia; I stay smart
in the 'United World Nations of Google and K-Mart' (automaton)
Nannas snapping selfies, call them Instagrandmas
What an unreal progression of inventions since the camera
Who could have foreseen it? And where does it all end?
Papa Zuckerberg saying "Now we're alllll friends." (creepy voice)
Chatter all day long to forget that we're puny and dying
Perhaps a real Deltron Zero will devise a supervirus
Headline: INTERNET CRASHES, 14-YEAR-OLD BRAINS MELT
Could we go back? Would life seem like a lame hell?
People are products now; yeah, that's pretty wacky
YOU MAD BRO? No, I'm not Helga G. Pataki
The hella irony is that I'm certainly in this land too
I just like asking questions; forgive me for the rant dude
I'm browsing /r/philosophy asking, "WHAT'S SIGNIFICANT?!?!"
Wondering how Nietzsche would live if he were in this shit
