When everything is monetized
And only tears are free
I think it’s time we realized
That’s not how life should be.
When you post your life on line
In hopes of earning cash
It should become a flashing sign
That it will one day crash.
Important things will fade away
In the rush to make a buck
Your only purpose every day,
To have financial luck
You’ll conjure up click-worthy memes
And pay no mind that they’re not real
That nothing’s really as it seems
As long as it’s part of the deal.
The boom will fall, that’s how it goes
And you’ll be left out in the rain
To learn what everybody knows
The lust for loot just causes pain.
