we get physical pounding the key board letting the frustration go
the influence of ignorance breeds a negative insurrection
mass production of misinformation erupts and explodes.

No longer confined to their earth bound hells
Facebook created creatures are now known
wisdom gets lost in meaningless chatter
the intoxication of nothing is so strong.

common sense is long gone
hate and paranoia have become the masters
love and desperation confuse the view
its getting hard to figure out what really matters.

low self esteem boosted by illusions but depression can not be contained
selfies and likes rule and telling things that should not be told
being hurt by words because you think they are talking about you in a post
crippled in silence no more the new tower of babel is out of control.

The Intoxication Of Nothing

Internet fights are useless but they are now the norm
we get physical pounding the key board letting the frustration go
the influence of ignorance breeds a negative insurrection
mass production of misinformation erupts and explodes.

No longer confined to their earth bound hells
Facebook created creatures are now known
wisdom gets lost in meaningless chatter
the intoxication of nothing is so strong.

common sense is long gone
hate and paranoia have become the masters
love and desperation confuse the view
its getting hard to figure out what really matters.

low self esteem boosted by illusions but depression can not be contained
selfies and likes rule and telling things that should not be told
being hurt by words because you think they are talking about you in a post
crippled in silence no more the new tower of babel is out of control.
