Who really started the madness?
Oh shit, we should blame you Gen Z.
Trapped in the glow of your own device,
Freedom sold for a digital fee.
[Verse 1][Dave]
COVID panic, toilet paper, crypto kings, AI savior,
TikTok fame, short-form flavor, rent fucking gone high, no damn lifesaver.
Zoom school, home rules, climate burnin’, oceans cruel,
Kanye rants, Elon’s plans, blue check flex and fucking shadow bans.
Netflix docs, scandal drops, cancel culture never stops,
Doja cats, Threads apps, filters trap the mental maps.
Wildfires, fucking student loans, side hustles, broken homes,
Mental health, self-care, fake smiles, blank stares.
Plastic oceans, data breach, freedom priced beyond our reach,
2× Super Bowl Eagles fly high — Philly still runs these streets!

[Verse 2][Dave]
Metaverse, avatars, crashin’ crypto, stolen cars,
AI voice, no choice, deepfake fame, synthetic noise.
Fucking Drone strikes, culture wars, rent hikes, credit sores,
Fuck boys, bitch girls, chaos in emoji worlds.
Streaming dreams, fast-fashion scenes,
Short attention, dopamine.
Hashtag hope, online grief,
Truth a post, belief is brief.
Hustle grind, burnout mind,
History loops in pixel screens.

[Verse 3][Dave]
Flash mobs, protests, meme lords reckless,
AI poets, robots restless.
Influence flex, love through text,
Every trend gone viral next.
Climate strikes, storm alerts,
Designer pain behind designer shirts.
Fake news gods, profit sermons,
Truth drowned out by brand determined.
Past repeats, can’t hit delete,
Philly still fly, Dallas still trash — they can’t compete!

[Bridge female][Mary]
We didn’t build the system, we just logged in,
Born in the glitch, tryin’ not to cave in.
Y’all made the rules, now you fear the code,
We just learned to surf what your chaos sowed.
Y’all sold the earth, we got the receipt,
Still plant hope on these broken streets.
You call us lost — we call it awake,
Rebuildin’ the world with what’s left to take.
