lyrics

The system is fucked so why don’t you just give up

Life is tough, oh my gah, gotta me some stuff
to show friends and family that i’ve been grinding enough
lookin at all their little posts online, and in my mind
i need to remind myself i’m doing just fine
ya see, your news feeds made to keep your hooked on your phone
and ya try to ad block em just to leave you alone
but every single app, every single day, every single company tryna trick you in to pay
not with your fucking money bitch, with your fucking life
sellin data they collect on devices all day and night
you didn’t get a cut, and they didn’t tell ya
you might not be slaves, but they still try and sell ya
it’s babylon, bitches, the rastas tried to tell ya
the system is fucked and now we raising hell, ya
gotta snap a pic, filter it, tag a chick, stroke your dick, do it quick, for that dopamine hit
your brain craves it. tap another button, bookmark, save shit.
get in stupid arguments troll em until they rage quit
page flips, another 60 seconds til you brainless
fake shit, fake bitch, posting bout they great tits
aimless discussions so you never stop consuming
give em tablets when they 5, wonder why kids ain’t blooming
get the kids hooked, make adults mad, make the old folks scared and look, here comes an ad

The system is fucked so why don’t you just give up

The world is designed to waste time, you think that it’s fine
being constantly online
information they mine, selling thoughts outta ya mind
defined by dollar signs, we start our decline
a race to the bottom aint no finish line
end of days getting streamed on twitch, twitter, and vine
we all live this lie, cus it hurts to think
on our own, not from our phones, we’re all outta sync
so i take a drink and i try to forget it
next thing i know, my phone’s out, opening reddit
promoted post, try drinking this brand of gin
how’d they know what i’m drinking, the phone’s listening in
collect the key words, geotag, personalize location ads
send your all your contacts to call centers in islamabad
scan your photos so they can see what you gon’ buy
no time for thinking, your brain’s occupied
the ads multiply til you’re pacified
your hooked on your phone while life pass you by
you might ask me why did it get this bad?
happy people don’t share posts like they do when they’re mad
shit i wish i could quit, i use it to market
even though the ad money’s now basically useless
compete against ad budgets of budweiser and coke
marketing on facebook's been turned into a joke
your post got no likes, there's no playing without paying
you’re addicted to the internet, bitch, that’s all i’m saying

Aarodynamics Charlotte, North Carolina

Aarodynamics is a sexy, strange amalgamation of styles and heavily improvised live sets keep things fresh. Obscure covers, mind-altering originals, and the occasional remix keep it gangsta, grimy, jazzy, and jammy all in one strange set.
