I can’t learn anything because it’s boring
I need more impulses that are fun
I’m not very skilled, I just do what they tell me
So that I can buy anything that I want
I’ve got tools that make my life easy
I don’t need to think too much
I can use magic and I’ve got power
I can have the world with my touch
[Chorus:]
Somebody tell me please how can I get rid of my feelings
They are disturbing the transition to a perfect world
I’m so addicted to this little screen, I’ve lost the meaning
But my brain keeps making me alert
I’ll let you control my desires
I’ll give you permission with just one click
Providing information about me
In exchange I only need a dopamine kick
[Chorus 2]
Didn’t the pharaoh tell the truth?
Wasn’t Hammurabi right?
Weren’t Zeus and his team the ones who ruled?
Wasn’t the mighty Cesar justified?
Wasn’t the inquisitor the hand of God?
Didn’t the king get his crown from heaven?
Didn’t the noble have blue blood?
Wasn’t the sceptical called heathen?
Or does the factory owner want cheap work?
Is the president’s job to lie to us?
‘Growth & Technology’, new religion?
Does everybody just have to sell products?
[Chorus 3:]
Somebody tell me please how can I get rid of my feelings
They are disturbing the transition to a perfect world
I’m so addicted to this little screen, I’ve lost the meaning
But reason keeps making me alert
My reason is making me alert
I’m on alert
