To Be a Ghost... lyrics
by Jeff Rosenstock
[Verse 1]
f*ck off, the internet, I'm tired of circling
Amongst apologists who love ignoring the reality
Of unarmed civilians executed publicly
[Refrain]
They want you to be a ghost
When they rob you of your hope
But you've got power when they're not expecting anything
[Verse 2]
Born as a data mine for targeted marketing
And no one will listen up until you become a hashtag or a meme
But hate's not a fad that dies with its virality
[Refrain]
They want you to be a ghost
When they rob you of your hope
But you've got power when they're not expecting anything
[Bridge]
I rush to my phone
Because I don't wanna feel alone
They forced us to grow
Into a world without a soul
[Outro]
You're frozen with dread as their chatter becomes deafening
If you're tired of being told, to stop complaining about the cold
Burn those f*ckers in their homes
Burst their bubble and break their bones
They want you to be a ghost
They want you to be a ghost
But we've got power
Cause they can't stop the things that they refuse to see
