lyrics

once again we are lost
enslaved, victimized
all too easy to lead
exploiting our need
for the social media feed
our narcissistic greed
into the clutches
of yet another

Distraction Industry - tells you who to be
Distraction Industry - tells you what to see
Distraction Industry - tells you how to be
Distraction Industry - tells you what is real

endless echo chambers
digital «safe» spaces
where we can wallow
unopposed in stupidity
where no opposing thought
can breach our walls
and we believe all
never questioning the


Distraction Industry - tells you who to be
Distraction Industry - tells you what to see
Distraction Industry - tells you how to be
Distraction Industry - tells you what is real


how did we substitute
the shackles of religion
for the tyrant in our pocket
feeding us digital heroin
