DIGITAL WORLD (To the tune of Political World by Bob Dylan)


Digital World

To the tune of Political World by Bob Dylan

We're livin' in a Digital World
Love don’t have any place
We’re living in times where bots commit crimes
And crime don’t have a face

We're livin' in a Digital World

Pixels hanging down

Wedding bells ring on a VR screen

Clouds cover up the town


We're livin' in a Digital World

Wisdom is thrown into code

It rots in the cloud, misguided and loud

Leaving no one to lighten the load


We're livin' in a Digital World

Where mercy walks the plank

Life is in filters, death disappears

Up the steps into the data bank


We're livin' in a Digital World

Where courage is a thing of the past

Avatars are haunted, kids are unwanted

The next scroll could be your last


We're livin' in a Digital World

The one we can swipe and feel

But there’s no one to check, it’s all a stacked deck

We all know for sure that it’s real


We're livin' in a Digital World

In the cities of endless scroll

Little by little you turn in the middle

But you’re never sure what’s in your soul


We're livin' in a Digital World

Under the algorithm's scope

You can travel anywhere and doomscroll there

You always got more than enough dope


We're livin' in a Digital World

Turning and a-thrashing about

As soon as you’re awake, you’re trained to partake

What looks like the easy way out


We're livin' in a Digital World

Where peace is not welcome at all

It’s turned away from the feed to wander indeed

Or put up against the wall


We're livin' in a Digital World

Everything is hers or his

Climb into the stream and shout out a meme

But you’re never sure what it is
