lyrics

Profile, newsfeed, next update
Text your feelings, text your face
Check up on your barely friends
The means justifies the ends

Somebody tell me what to believe
I got images selling me what I don’t need
I got people telling me I’m not good enough
Unless I look a certain way or use certain stuff

It’s life in the tell-all age
Stuck inside the narcissistic cage

Video feed, post-it race
Sext your feelings, sext your face
Twitter up your deepest thoughts
Leave out no forget-me-nots

Somebody show me how to perceive
I got machines telling me all that I need
I got affirmation from a tiny face
On a screen with a scene from all over the place

Sign-up, wall, join a group
Invite your acquaintances to the roof
See who David’s been talking to
Read Jen’s private notes to Sue

It’s life in the tell-all age
From the centre of the virtual stage

Somebody show me what to believe
I got images telling me how to perceive
You got people implying you’re not good enough
Unless you act a certain way or buy certain stuff

I’ve had enough
I’ve had enough
I’ve had enough
I’ve had enough of that stuff

It’s life in the tell-all age
Our neuroses all over the page
