MC Lars - Fear of a Blockchain Planet lyrics

Pizzagate, deep state
Y'all really believe this?
And on January 6th we
Were ambushed by extremists
While the bots fanned the flames
From the shores of Coeur d'Alene
To the hills of West Virginia
Algorithmically enraged
As they trended, divided
Regrouped and rebranded
Transplanted, implanted, expanded, demanded
Palo Alto über alles
Huxley warned us this would happen
Mainlined the oxytocin and
They monetized distraction
"This Laptop Kills Fascists"
I once shouted proudly
Now our phones make us tired
Anxious and grouchy
Looks like Hagel was right
Divided so polemical
Amenable to narratives that once
Seemed so untenable

They buried Steve Jobs, while Alexander wept
They NFT-ed the planet in
Secret while we slept
Upvoted it on Reddit as
They menaced the Helenics
I think there just might be a
Dark side to this global pandemic

Blockchain Planet
It's the fear of the Blockchain
Blockchain Planet
It's the fear of the Blockchain
Blockchain Planet
It's the fear of the Blockchain
(Decentralized, web 30 here we go on the)
Blockchain Planet
It's the fear of the Blockchain
Blockchain Planet
It's the fear of the Blockchain
Blockchain Planet
It's the fear of the Blockchain
(Decentralized, web 30 here we go)

And everyone raps now, what am I even doing?
Playing chicken with my dreams for
20 years and still pursuing
This quixotic quest
Chasing windmills with my friends
While Cervantes writes the sequel and I'm
Not sure how it ends and I don't want you at
My concerts anti-vaxxers, please, stay home
Yeah, I said it, play it back
Y'all ain't welcome at my shows
And if you didn't hear me
Here's the point I'm trying to tell you
The unsafe reckless people are not
Welcome in the venue
Flat Earthers around the world, stop, please
Don't make me laugh
Because I believe in science and
Facts are still facts
They're screaming "White Genocide"
It's a lie, as they try
To terrify the masses and get
Them on their side

They buried Steve Jobs, while Alexander wept
They NFT-ed the planet in
Secret while we slept
Said the upgrade was Edenic
The aesthetic was authentic
But what if there's a bright
Side to this global pandemic?

Blockchain Planet
It's the fear of the Blockchain
Blockchain Planet
It's the fear of the Blockchain
Blockchain Planet
It's the fear of the Blockchain
(Decentralized, web 30 here we go on the)
Blockchain Planet
It's the fear of the Blockchain
Blockchain Planet
It's the fear of the Blockchain
Blockchain Planet
It's the fear of the Blockchain
(Decentralized, web 30 here we go)

And Alexander wept and Alexander wept
And Alexander wept and Alexander wept

So now you're getting the vibe of
This record, it's a little angrier
A little more real i have
No patience for white
Supremacists, anti-vaxxers
Flat earthers don't come at
Me with that insane
Garbage, this isn't 1244, it's not
The Middle Ages anyway
Welcome to "Blockchain Planet"
