BRAINROT Lyrics
[Intro]
I saw the news today, and being human is a losing game
We're doomed to play, numb to the pain
So distracted that we don't notice as our last chance slowly passes
And collapses
[Verse 1]
Yeah, watch the world fall off its axis
Watch the bombs go off, paid for by your taxes
Watch the Met Ball, watch the brainrot
Watch the Go-Pro footage of the headshot
Genocide with a right click (Right click)
Advertisements make you want to buy shit (Buy shit, buy shit)
It's a constant drip of—
[Pre-Chorus]
Dopamine
More dopamine
[Chorus]
Welcome to the hell we're living in
And the ending of the world, we're witnessing
You can cry for help, no one's listening
No, no one's listening
Welcome to the hell we're living in
And the overexposure's sickening
You can cry for help, no one's listening
No one's listening, so listen in
[Verse 2]
Watch the stars walk the red carpet
Watch the cops shoot the wrong girl in her own apartment
Become a slave to the free market
Where you pick up the gun or become the target
Watch the downfall, watch the closing credits
It's over, forget it
You know where it's headed, straight to the gutter
Watch as the winter warms up like summer
Watch it all through your new smartphone
With a battery mined by a child in a war zone
Then pretend to be ignorant, watch the cognitive dissonance
Watch the court get stacked (Stacked), the bad guy win (Win)
Watch, 'cause you're looking at the mess you're in
This phone is a mirror, and I am just a reflection
[Pre-Chorus]
Dopamine
More dopamine
[Chorus]
Welcome to the hell we're living in
And the ending of the world, we're witnessing
You can cry for help, no one's listening
No, no one's listening
Welcome to the hell we're living in
And the overexposure's sickening
You can cry for help, no one's listening
No one's listening, so listen in
[Bridge]
The overlapping disaster, intersectional violence
I wanna just—
The maintaining of power in the final hour
I wanna just—
Climbing up broken ladders, nothing really matters
I wanna just—
Don't know where to begin, so I shatter the window
And then I just—
[Outro]
Fuck, woo
The overlapping disaster
The overlapping disaster, intersectional violence
I wanna just—
