Plastic People

In the silicone era with the translucent sheen From some college puke's dorm room, onto your screen Your tweets, your memes, your high school, your blues A new iron curtain to supply all your news A pic of her breakfast, I thought Why? That's when I knew they were getting us high Posting lives lived in shrinkwrap perfection Touting it all via daily reflection Their goal is to sell you whatever they choose Maybe you'll get it, anonymity we lose Bubble-wrapped bimbos sporting bouncy foot gels Affirming advantage for upgrading our cells Promising an end to little disorders Magic blue pills sure to throb in short order A new generation, lost in space And Plastic People in my face And Plastic People in my face.
