Braindead
P.O.R.N. Lyrics

There's something strange about the impact of the internet
The internet has an unusual effect worth examining

It's got me questioning these people's intellect
The internet raises doubts about people's intelligence

In a way it's kind of strange how they lack the use of brains
It's peculiar how some people don't engage their brains when using the internet

Yet people applaud their cause and now it's driving me insane
Despite this, some people are praised for their internet use, which frustrates the singer

I tried to dig into the main source of the problem
The singer attempted to uncover the root of the problem

These people's are like zombies mindless someone has to stop them
The people are like zombies - they're mindless and someone needs to intervene

Zoned out on the phone, YouTube and twitter
Many people are absorbed by their phones, YouTube, and Twitter

Can't even take time off even when you're on the shitter
Some people are on their phones even when using the bathroom

Welcome to the anti-social experiment you're all a part of
The internet is an anti-social experiment that everyone participates in

Like for like, follow, share, don't forget to tap that Instagram heart on
Social media users are encouraged to like, follow, and share content, and even to use the Instagram heart icon

We no longer have to wonder we can google it to start with
Nowadays, people don't have to wonder about anything - they can just Google it

And since we all have smart phones we now win any trivial argument
Thanks to smartphones, people believe they can win any minor argument

Conversations don't last long, every detail's documented
Conversations are brief and every detail is recorded

I see Facebook posts from seven years ago and I regret it
Seeing old Facebook posts can bring feelings of regret

Children learn more from tablets than parents how much longer will it take?
Children may learn more from tablets than from their parents, and this trend worries the singer

Welcome to the mental evolution of the modern human race
The internet marks a new stage in human evolution

There's just one thing in life I don't want to do
The singer has one thing they wish to avoid

That's be a brain dead motherfucker just like you
The singer doesn't want to be a thoughtless person like the addressee

Don't try to convince me that you haven't been lobotomized
The singer doubts the addressee's cognitive abilities

Look at the times man you must have all lost your damn mind
The singer suggests that people have lost their sanity

Frustrated, fatigued, denial, diseased
The internet has caused people to feel frustrated, fatigued, in denial, and even unwell

These are symptoms doctor google provided for a sneeze
People sometimes diagnose themselves using online sources like Google

You may have cancer if you choose to believe
Web searches can lead to believing the worst possible outcome

And the chemist provides a solution for ease
Chemists offer treatments that might relieve symptoms

Millions of people logging on just looking for answers
Huge numbers of people go online searching for answers

Like the questions of life exist in the plains of the web
People assume the internet holds the answers to big life questions

And my phone inches me ever so close to death
The singer fears that their addiction to their phone could lead to an early death

For every two friends you gain on Facebook you lose one IRL
Social media can come at the expense of real-life relationships

And no auto correct phones means that I can't spell
People rely too much on auto-correct features and are becoming worse spellers

Apparently its very revolutionary technology
Some people consider technology like auto-correct to be notable innovation

But all I see is the rest of the world dumber than me
The singer believes people are becoming less intelligent overall

This overwhelming public forum makes Facebook soldiers
Social media platforms are like virtual battlefields where people argue and compete

Keyboard warriors loaded with QWERTY rifles on shoulders
People on the internet are prone to having intense arguments with each other

Scoped in with the caps lock but the safety is off
Bold statements are sometimes made with the caps lock on

Going crazy online while their brains rot
People make themselves crazy by obsessing over internet content
