about

This song was inspired by E M Forster's book of the same name and by my experience of social media.

lyrics

And you might say
We should find a better way
But do you care
Enough before you share
You say be kind
But that’s not what’s on your mind
You criticise
But you fail to read between the lies

It must be true you read it printed black and white
It justifies your view, tells you that it’s alright

You’ve had enough
You’re so bored with all this stuff
Your empathy
Well it’s becoming harder to see
Just one more post
About what you hate the most
Ignore the paradox
Until the machine stops

You swallowed hook and line and sinker like a dream
You take a break, we’ll work on stopping the machine
