lyrics

being alive is tricky. go to the doctor.
tell me doctor, where are we going this time?
give me all the information on my body.
that data is mine.

i just need to know where to go and click sign
number up my body, take my cartilage and quantify

if i know all the numbers i will never die
if i can track a pattern. if i can read the jargon
then i can modify

empirical knowledge, liquids and solids digitirealized
here comes the math, here comes the science
we'll take the truth and we'll take the lies
we'll take the void, the fear of death
and we'll apply outside, externalize
we'll extrapolate and investigate all we've decontextualized

we'll do it for our health, and we'll do it for the cops.
we'll give up everything we've got
just to keep us safe and entertained.
we don't need the light switch explained.

we'll do it for efficiency, we'll do it for simplicity
we'll do it cause it can be done.
it's a free service with a one-time purchase minimum .

we get our platform. we get our stage.
we stay connected. we're self-elected.
we're volunteering for the commandeering
in the dawning of the digital age.

statisticians are magicians
hiding in the masses of the culture and religion
