about

We've created some kind of monster with this social media stuff. It's like all the power of computing with all the flaws of human beings unleashed back on us like some superhuman creature on an unsuspecting German village. And now we stand at the precipice of some brave new endeavor: The Metaverse. Or Web3. Or like some crypto stuff? NFTs? I don't know, it's all kinda matrix-y. But one thing is for sure: we can safely blame Mark Zuckerberg for pretty much any and all of it. At least there's that.

lyrics

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't see you there

Caught me chillin in the Metaverse
Where nobody mince no words, no
We eat em whole and wash em down
With something crisp and refreshing

So clean when I post my post
You like mine but I like yours most
My heart emojis on overload
Your kissy face–I already know

We did what we came to do
Make a paradise good and true
Where no man gon' say shit to me

Talking trash so we take it down
Kissing ass so we keep em round
Made an app that made us rich kid clowns
Look like rich kid clowns
So we buy that shit out

I feel like God must have
(Wetsuit on the back of a beautiful wave)
Space-grade sunblock on my face
Not even Mother Nature gon' touch me

We did what we came to do
Make a paradise shiny and new
Where no man gon' say shit

Not even the senators
Or congressmen, or women, or they/them
(We're inclusive)

Cus y'all are our pride and joy
Out blue-ribbon livestock
Gon' get our asses off the farm
Oh, baby, check it out

You're hungry
You're tired
You're sexually frustrated
(We got an app for that!)

Come on it's a brave new world, baby girl
In that little black box
All because

We did what we came to do
Make a paradise just for you
Where you don't have to take shit
But you can give so much shit
Now no one's gonna say shit
To daddy Zuck
