The Social Network

Location

I listen to them, I listen well
They tell me to listen with my eyes
What I see through the screen is perpetual hell.

They say it is the truth
I've been told more than once
We are either together - or else
We are dead

I know better though, yes I do
What they say was never the truth
But if you really want to know
What lies behind the eyes

Think about what is not being said
Think about what you know with your head

And only then will you know
Only then will you see

That the screen you use to see
Is the true disease
