Antheia Jayne - Beta Life Lyrics

La la la la la, I'm not listening
To anything past my echo chamber
No filter, raw and gritty
I've been woke to stranger danger

Paperboy pitch Newsweek to my door
But in my pocket, I've got more
Ping me, Skype me, like my feed
I'm mobile like a tumbleweed

I've been busted smiling at my screen
The iPhone Plus size in my jeans
Makes my boyfriend jelly, jelly
Digital, dilly dilly

Goliath Google algorithms
Consume my every waking whim
Dizzy drunk on data streams
Beta life ain't only for machines

Daily iterations of a former me
Roll out of bed to greet society
Timelines may tell my story
But I update every morning

It's a vicious cycle, rinse and repeat
Once you catch on, the tech's obsolete
Augment my old, gray matter
Make it stronger, better, faster

I've been rusting, tiring at my seams
Lopping off a limb might sound extreme
Build my robotty body
Digital hottie hottie

Goliath Google algorithms
Consume my every waking whim
Dizzy drunk on data streams
Beta life ain't only for machines
For machines

Yo I'm loving this beta life, and I'm doing all right
I got my phone in my pocket as I'm waiting on an Uber ride
Giga whaaa? A new gig economy
E-commerce, Bitcoin, mah digital strategy

Woke baes be snapping me
Selfies while they co-working
I send em what they need
Lil Bub cat memes
That gets us through the week
Then they wanna chill with me
Back at the crib Alexa tells us drink recipes

Throw one back
Dim the lights
Grab the vape and Oculus
Now we're getting faded under water with an octopus
Virtual reality
Smart aromatherapy
We got everything we need
Beta life for you and me

I've been busted smiling at my screen
The iPhone Plus size in my jeans
Makes my boyfriend jelly, jelly
Digital, dilly dilly

Goliath Google algorithms
Consume my every waking whim
Dizzy drunk on data streams
Beta life ain't only for machines
