The companies are spiders that watch as you step

Into the trap of the World Wide Web

A marionette with strings of code 

Dragged around by each upload

 

Projecting insecurities on others

The internet provides a perfect cover

But behind each screen is a human who feels

Dislikes may be virtual but the effects are real

 

You can be beautiful with a little bit of cash in

Changing your face like your skin is fast fashion

The very same medicine invented to cure

Is being used to turn people insecure

 

We’re in a day and age when joy comes in vials

But bright white pills can’t brighten up a smile

Capitalizing others' misery and pain

Money can’t buy happiness but it can trick your brain
