lyrics

My algorithm tells me all the latest news
My algorithm tells me where to buy new shoes
My algorithm tells me my political views
I’ve got them Algorithm Blues

My algorithm tells me when it’s time for me to spend
My algorithm tells me when I need new friends
My algorithm tells me all the where’s the what the when’s
I’ve got them Algorithm Blues

I got them Algorithm Blues when my phone listens to me
And sends me advertisements for the things I don’t need
I got the blues for algorithms and the way that they spy
It’s like a little man inside my phone that reads my mind

My algorithm tells me the company I should keep
My algorithm even watches over me when I sleep
My algorithm knows about the secrets that I keep
I’ve got them Algorithm Blues

The algorithms cause division between me and you
When we get different information masquerading as truth
I got the blues for algorithms and the seeds that they’ve sown
It’s like a recipe for enmity inside our phones…

I got a friend in Pennsylvania, got an aunt in Tennessee
We all got algorithms that make sure we can’t agree
Sometimes I think these algorithms aim to kill democracy
I’ve got those Algorithm Blues
I’ve got those Algorithm Blues
I got dystopian depression
Social media obsession
I got them Algorithm Blues…
