Doomscroller

Lining up all the numbers under the names
Lining up all the numbers under the names
Notify the next of kin of the circumstances
Was it an act of God or an accident?

Act of God or an accident, or a consequence of a lower profile?
Salt of the earth, underpaid to serve you
Salt of the earth, underpaid to serve and teach your children
Salt of the earth, underpaid to serve and scrub the toilet
Salt of the earth, underpaid to serve and scrub the toilet
Ruling classes trickle piss from champagne glasses
That's just how the evening passes

For a true doomscroller
And I'm a true doomscroller
I can't seem to shut it down
Until the worst is over
And it's never over
Arrogance of a coward hostile

Scum of the earth, overpaid to rob you
Scum of the earth, overpaid to rob and mock resistance
Scum of the earth, overpaid to rob anonymously from a distance
Scum of the earth, overpaid to rob anonymously
Ruling classes trickle piss from champagne glasses
History on repeat relapses

For a true doomscroller
Dog whistle links to a torch song
Torch song links to a statue, burning
Moon landing links to QAnon
Rabbit in a deep hole, keep on dancing

(Don't give up yet, don't give up yet
Don't give up yet, don't give up now)

Lining up all the numbers under the names
Lining up all the numbers under the names

Boy, I'm a true doomscroller
I'm a true doomscroller
I can't seem to shut it down
Until the worst is over
And it's never over

(Don't give up yet, don't give up yet
Don't give up yet, don't give up now)

Take something for the pain
Not something to conceal it
More like a magnification mirror, full-size
Inner echo reflecting solace revived

Whatever you do, either way we're gonna love you
Never mattered, either way we're gonna love you
Whatever you do, either way we're gonna love you
Never mattered, how many or how much more you've been through

Take this for the heartache
Not some cure to negate it
More like a magnification mirror, full-size
Inner reverberation happens outside

Whatever you do, either way we're gonna love you
Never mattered, either way we're gonna love you
Whatever you do, either way we're gonna love you
Never mattered, how many or how much more you've been through

Come back to yourself from the battle
