Loved Through A Screen

Industrialize me, monetize me Supersize me, Americanize me Don't surprise me, don't unbind me Don't unblind me, I don't wanna see Let me go the way of my fathers I was baptized in water But I was also capsized by the blood on their hands America, the Christian nation We've turned the Logos into a logo We made Jesus a brand So you can industrialize me Monetize me, digitize me And compromise me. Don't surprise me, don't unbind me Don't unblind me, I don't wanna see Why would I stick out When I can blend in Is monotony some sort of sin So don't radicalize me Or galvanize me I'd prefer to know my future You can Clavinize me I'd prefer to stay hidden They call the lost seekers What a sham We seek in folly We seek in vain We seek our own plans Paradoxically, we're hidden In caves and caverns And hidden in pain So why break the norms When you can industrialize me And monetize me And Supersize me Americanize me Compromise me Compromise me Compromise me Compromise me All so that you can eventually idolize me Oh, because that's where all this vanity leads If I don't worship the real thing I'll need you to worship me So idolize me, celebritize me Make me the object of your affection So you can fuel my obsession with being seen Because I've seen images in technology but they don't see me And if I'm unseen Well, I'm gonna need you To industrialize me, digitize me Monetize me, and supersize me Then you can compromise my humanity So that someone may venerate me Into a projected image of some cheap god Who cracks at the seams Friends, I'm gonna need you To Idolize me Idolize me Idolize me Idolize me Because I've idolized so many people I've only seen through technological means I don't know them and they don't know me Why would I be any different When I can go in the way of all human beings And simply settle for being Loved through a screen Industrialize me Digitize me Monetize me Love me through a screen Love me through a screen Love me through a screen I'm terrified of being known So I'll settle for being seen
