Oh, look! this is good

I wonder what’s next?

That looks good

Oh, her life is good



I scroll and scroll

I roll and roll

I judge and judge

I want and want



Oh, look at the time

Just stop

Look at the pile

Oh, this is beautiful



I scroll and scroll

I close and open

I like and comment

I lack and lack


Oh, look! he is back from work

He did the work

He spoke to real people

Oh, he looks satisfied






I roll and roll

I watch and hit next

I search the song

I sing along



Oh, look! family video call

Saw them ages ago

Have nothing to talk

Oh, look it disconnected



I judge and judge

I know she is rich

I know he is a snob

I know they own it all


Oh, look! I am sad

Again, again and again

Day after day

Oh, look everyone is happy



I want and want

I want the car she has

I want the money they have

I want the life he has



Oh, look! this is sad

I scroll and scroll

I want and want

Oh, I am trapped and trapped
