Dopamine, on dopamine, on dopamine, on dopamine We have been overrun by our animal desire Addicts of the immediate keep us obedient and unaware Feeding this mutation, this Pavlovian despair We've become Disillusioned So we run Towards anything glimmering Time to put the silicon obsession down Take a look around, find a way in the silence Lie supine away with your back to the ground Dis- and re-connect to the resonance now You were never an island Unique voice among the many in this choir Tuning into each other, lift all higher Hey, how long? Oh Dopamine, on dopamine, on dopamine, on dopamine Willingly been re-wired by clever agents within Looping our reflections, our obsessions draw us in Fix and fixation, no sentience beyond We've become disillusioned So we dive like crows towards anything glittering Time to put the silicon obsession down Take a look around, find a way in the silence Lie supine away with your back to the ground Dis- and re-connect to the resonance now You were never an island Unique voice among the many in this choir Tuning into each other, lift all higher
