[Verse 1]
E C#m
Fuck off, the internet. I’m tired of circling
E C#m
amongst apologists who love ignoring the reality
E C#m B
of unarmed civilians executed publicly.
[Chorus]
B A F#7
They want you to be a ghost
E C#7
when they rob you of your hope,
A C G B
but you’ve got power when they’re not expecting anything.
[Verse 2]
E C#m
Born as a data mine for targeted marketing,
E C#m
and no one will listen up until you become a hashtag or a meme
E C#m B
but hate’s not a fad that dies with its virality.
[Chorus]
B A F#7
They want you to be a ghost
E C#7
when they rob you of your hope,
A C G B
but you’ve got power when they’re not expecting anything.
[Bridge]
C#m D E Bbdim
I rush to my phone because I don’t wanna feel alone.
G D E
They forced us to grow into a world without a soul.

[Verse 3]
E C#m B
Your frozen with dread as their chatter becomes deafening.
A F#m
If you’re tired of being told
E C#m
to stop complaining about the cold,
A F#
burn those fuckers in their homes.
E C#m
Burst their bubble and break their bones.
[Chorus]
A F#m
They want you to be a ghost
E C#m
They want you to be a ghost,
A F#m E
but we’ve got power ‘cause they can’t stop the things that they refuse to see.
