"Dopamine Machine" by Christopher Troise

give me another shot of dopamine

from my dopamine machine

I don’t even need a needle

a working finger’s all I need

I can see the seven wonders

from the comfort of my home

I don’t have to be unhappy

and I never feel alone

give me another validation

from my validation machine

I can feel love emanating out

from just behind this screen

It’s manna for my restless mind

and candy for my eye

A man who’s always entertained

won’t ever question why

I don’t wanna be a part of this addict generation

I won’t sign away my sovereignty to a numb consumer nation

so stand up now, reclaim your primal right to be ignored

it’s never going to change if we forget how to be bored

give me another shot of dopamine

every time that we agree

I’ve finally found a place

where everyone thinks just like me

I never have to hear dissent

and so I’m never wrong

as long as everyone’s the same

we all can get along

I don’t wanna be a part of this addict generation

I won’t sign away my sovereignty to a numb consumer nation

so stand up now, reclaim your primal right to be ignored

it’s never going to change if we forget

oh, they won’t get the best of me

god knows I’m still free

I’m the king of my domain

I’m still calling all the shots

could you hold on a second I’ve got to take this...

I don’t wanna be a part of this addict generation

I won’t sign away my sovereignty to a numb consumer nation

so stand up now, reclaim your primal right to be ignored

it’s never going to change if we forget

I don’t ever wanna be, to be a part of this addict generation

I won’t sign away my sovereignty to a faceless corporation

so stand up now, reclaim your primal right to be ignored

it’s never going to change if we forget how to be bored
