Beam Me Up
Verse 1
Grew up staring at the distant stars
Thinking we'd be living up on Mars
Now I’m staring at a screen instead
Drowning in the noise inside my head
Scroll down, welcome to the local hell
Buy another thing they want to sell
Trash on the pavement, garbage in the feed
Is this the future that we really need?
Chorus
So beam me up, get me out of here
I’ve had enough of the atmosphere
Strapped to a rocket, heading for the void
Destroyed by the world that we created and destroyed
No sign of life, no intelligent mind
Just leave all the madness and the debt behind
Beam me up, take me off this rock
Before the clock runs out.
Verse 2
X is a circus, Reddit is a cage
Algorithms feeding on the outrage
Working for a dime while the mountain grows
Where the money went, nobody knows
Invisible face in an endless crowd
Screaming out loud, but it’s not allowed
If the enterprise is pulling up today
I’m the first in line to get away.
Bridge
Light the fuse, ignite the blast
Leave the trash in the past
Counting down from ten to one
Flashing straight into the sun
No signal, no feed, no cost
Finally, gloriously lost.
Chorus
So beam me up, get me out of here
I’ve had enough of the atmosphere
Strapped to a rocket, heading for the void
Destroyed by the world that we created and destroyed
No sign of life, no intelligent mind
Just leave all the madness and the debt behind
Beam me up, take me off this rock
Before the clock runs out.
Outro
Beam me up.
Static on the radio...
Out of range.
Gone.
