Quotable Lyrics:

Cameras in your favorite corners, plastic in the wilderness
We can not be trusted with the stuff that we come up with
The machinery could eat us, we just really love our buttons, um
Technology, focus on the other s***
3D-printed body parts, dehydrated onion dip
You can buy a Jet Ski from a cell phone on a jumbo jet
