lyrics

A small world on a real big planet
Overworked, eternally in transit
Strung out on retweets and attention
A dopamine drip in your pocket

Woah oh oh
Can we put it all to bed?
Woah oh oh
Can we focus on each other instead?

Tear down the world
And build up the people around you
Tear down their fake world
Build up the people around you

It’s an exploit of psychology
Pulls the puppet strings of our insecurities
They’re farming us for the engagement
Selling our loneliness for advertisements

Tear down the world
And build up the people around you
Tear down their fake world
Build up the people around you

3 billion brains addicted to the same drug
Isolation by design, plugged in and pacified
It’s in the small changes gone unnoticed
But if we can turn it off we can create all that we want in this moment

Tear down the world
And build up the people around you
Tear down their fake world
Build up the people around you

Tear down their fake world
