Monetized Mind

I'm caught in the loop, feed refreshes again
Dance moves and memes, where the real news ends
They tell me it's poison, corrupting my brain
But they're selling my data, tell me who's to blame

Algorithms know me better than I do
But Facebook and Google are spying too
So why single this app, why the theater and lies
Why chase the noise but ignore our own spies

Is this freedom or control in disguise
You're afraid of what you can't monetize
They dress it as safety, wrapped in fear
But it's all about power, let's make that clear

Whose world is it anyway
Are my thoughts just products you can take
They say it's for me, but I see through the game
Freedom of speech, but they blacklist the name

Scroll till I sleep, but the fight's in my head
Cause banning the platform won't fix what's dead
They build their clones with hollow cores
Copy paste reels but it's missing the roar

Creators made homes in this digital space
Now they're burning it down like a corporate race
They point at the logo, the flag on the wall
But who profits the most when our empires fall

Data's been currency since we went online
Now they act like it's treason, but the line isn't mine
They don't fear the app, they fear the change
They fear a world where they're not in control of the stage

Where voices rise without their scheme
And freedom flows outside their stream
Is this freedom or control in disguise
You're afraid of what you can't monetize

They dress it as safety, wrapped in fear
But it's all about power, let's make that clear
Whose world is it anyway
Are my thoughts just products you can take

They say it's for me, but I see through the game
Freedom of speech, but they blacklist the name
Scroll till I sleep, but the fight's in my head
Cause banning the platform won't fix what's dead

Ban it if you want
We'll find somewhere new
Because connection isn't the app
It's what we do
