Don’t share the wealth You’ll share health Keep ’em crawling, crawling further Up the ladder, ’til the murder All of those lines Fine printed lines Keep ’em happy not reading All the bullshit that we’re feeding Yes, you are A star! On a chart In a machine heart Lie after lie Time after time Make it look like we’re caring Your objective: get them sharing Big Data dumps Subscriber bumps We’re a business, not a pre-school Just tell them what I told you Yes, you are (Yes, you are) A star! (You’re a star) On a chart (On a chart) In a machine heart We need to spotify all of the artists And shopify all of the guest lists No need to amplify our reasons When we can botify all of the people Kick up upstairs Like someone cares What we do with all the money Keep it close to, to you honey Yes, you are (Yes, you are) A star! (You’re a star) On a chart (On a chart) In a machine heart We need to spotify all of the artists (We need to spotify!) And shopify all of the guest lists (We need to shopify!) No need to amplify our reasons (We need to amplify!) When we can botify all of the people (We can botify!) Ssshhh! Don’t gimme truth This is post-you Swear I’ll cut off all the branches Throw you back into the trenches And there you’ll be Just without me Back to crawling, crawling further Up the ladder, ’til you murder
