Song by Simon Oak about how we risk getting manipulated into online-addiction by shady algorithms.

Lyrics

Chorus 1, after every verse:
Someone knows what we do
Someone knows me and you
Someone knows where we are and where we go
Someone knows I love you

^1. It was on a Tuesday night after four days of singing
I met this drunken woman in the Persian Bar
All she ever said was “It’s none of your fucking business”
Maybe that’s just where we are

^2. My phone is always with me, I can’t do without it
I love it, but it feels like it owns me
It shows my friends, and tells me all about ’em
Exactly the things I love to see

^3. My numbers on Tiktok, Spotify and Instagram,
Tell me how my popularity is growing
And on Linkedin I’m a serious businessman
I don’t need a website of my own

^4. There’s something playing games with me and my perception
It somehow made its way right into my brain
And keeps me in a state of permanent distraction
Who is the driver of this train?

Chorus 2:
Someone knows what we do
Someone knows me and you
Someone knows everything and all of us
Someone knows I love you

^5. My phone is full of sly gaslighting algorithms
They try to make think I’m out of my mind
They tell me what I read is Left-extremism
“Those nasty journos make you blind”

^6. My watch is taking care of my physical condition
Anonymously keeps a copy in the cloud
Connects my friends for a sense of competition
Not a thing to worry about?

^7. My AI therapist sent me out a-walking
I walked and I walked in spite of wind and rain
Till I met a man from Belfast and when we started talking
He said: “Jump off this crazy train!” … so now …

Chorus 3 (x2), Faster:
The devil gets to know what we do
The devil gets to know me and you
Let’s opt out from this Devil in the cloud
The only one to know will be you!
