The Key of Awesome
Chained To The Rhythm
[Verse 1: Sarah Gregory as Katy Perry]
I've been reading
Black Mirror by George Orwell
Dystopian rebellion sells
I might as well
Use ten dollar words I just looked up like one
Antiestablishmentarianism
Are you impressed
At how work a pop star can be?
I'm so awoke I never sleep
Or even blink
We're connected but we've never been more separate
And I'm the only one who's ever thought or said that

[Pre-Chorus: Sarah Gregory as Katy Perry]
It's time for us to get politicized
For reals, you guys

[Chorus: Sarah Gregory as Katy Perry]
Clap along, it's a protest song
But not one that'll offend mommy
Hit 'em with subtle imagery
Like a rollercoaster with emojis
That was deep as fuck
Why does your life suck?
It's 'cause of corporations
Applications
And other 'ations
[Verse 2: Sarah Gregory as Katy Perry]
Are we phone deaf?
Just typing, swiping, liking stuff
So I removed the temptation
Chopped off my thumbs
Now every time I grab my phone I drop it, drop it
This helps me to leave it in my pocket, pocket

[Pre-Chorus: Sarah Gregory as Katy Perry]
Give up your snapgrams and instablogs
Get your Amish on

[Chorus: Sarah Gregory as Katy Perry]
Give up electricity
Learn how to sew all your own clothing
Churn it up, I can't believe
Making butter could be so darn easy
You can be like me
Sans technology
I'm told that's how the world was
Back when I was
Just a fetus

[Bridge: Mark Douglas as Skip Marley]
That's enough, stop whittlin'
No-one deserves to be stuck here sittin'
Through all this bullshit you're emittin'
Allow me to bring up a point you're missin'
You realize if people took
Your dumb, clichéd advice
No-one would buy this single
And you'd be broke and no-one would put up with what you're spittin'
Grow up, I'm done babysittin'
[Chorus: Sarah Gregory as Katy Perry]
Change of plans, listen to my song
Buy it on iTunes or Amazon
Turn on mute, keep it on repeat
Sorry that I bit the hand that feeds me
I don't need money
Just the stuff it brings
Like clothes for Mr. Mittens
Who has two thumbs
And loves kittens?
(This girl!)
