[Verse 1]
This tube is the gospel
Carcinogens keep the wheel in spin
I'm a well-oiled machine
Feeding on dopamine
And I worship the tube
In all of it's glory

I'm young and dumb
I'm a millennial
I'm a millennial
[Outro]
I don't know a thing
Just pick the rubble up
Which you erupted
Many years ago
And left to me
I'm a millennial
