Lyrics:

Yo, Listen up kids, time to activate your app

You’re here to learn how do make your life crap

from now on your life will be on this screen

This is place where you live out your dream

SWIPE COMMENT LIKE SHARE

All the human connections you have felt before

When you hug, when you laugh, you don't need them no more

you need short attention span, like a goldfish,

You’ll be fed by your feed the most toxic dish

SWIPE COMMENT LIKE SHARE

It’s all about the algorithm

Messing with my egotism

Turning up my narcissism

It’s all about the algorithm

Omg I'm a viral success

I just lift my skirt and tush does the rest!

Today i'm on top, tomorrow you drop

Today my hits pops, tomorrow they flops

Who wants to be a celebrity? (me)

Time to lose your integrity! (okay!)

Show them everything you got, everything you do

How you poop, how you sleep

when you laugh when you weep

If you’re miserable, you do right cause you're visible, you’re in the light!

you can’t find meaning, got no real friends?

But you got new followers, stay with the trends

You wanna be an artist, share your imagination

Get line quick quick for the newest application

It’s all about the algorithm

Messing with my egotism

Turning up my narcissism

It’s all about the algorithm

I’m Influencer like an influenza,

I sicken your mind and i’m tricking you blind

I’m Content creator, a life living hater

Scrolling mindlessly, turning lifelessly

Covid was a virus putting your life' into chains

But I'm the kind of virus that is messing with your brains

She,they, he, them him watch what they do

Everyone is better more successful than you

The rules are clear keep you focus on your phone

Collect as many likes and you'll never feel alone

Connections are fake, likes are for real

The algorithm will tell you how to feel

It’s all about the algorithm

Messing with my egotism

Turning up my narcissism

It’s all about the algorithm

Siri, can you swipe for me?

alexa, can you like me?
