"Dopamine Machine" by Christopher Troise

give me another shot of dopamine

from my dopamine machine

I don’t even need a needle

a working finger’s all I need

I can see the seven wonders

from the comfort of my home

I don’t have to be unhappy

and I never feel alone

​

give me another validation

from my validation machine

I can feel love emanating out

from just behind this screen

It’s manna for my restless mind

and candy for my eye

A man who’s always entertained

won’t ever question why

​

I don’t wanna be a part of this addict generation

I won’t sign away my sovereignty to a numb consumer nation

so stand up now, reclaim your primal right to be ignored

it’s never going to change if we forget how to be bored

​

give me another shot of dopamine

every time that we agree

I’ve finally found a place

where everyone thinks just like me

I never have to hear dissent

and so I’m never wrong

as long as everyone’s the same

we all can get along

​

I don’t wanna be a part of this addict generation

I won’t sign away my sovereignty to a numb consumer nation

so stand up now, reclaim your primal right to be ignored

it’s never going to change if we forget

​

oh, they won’t get the best of me

god knows I’m still free

I’m the king of my domain

I’m still calling all the shots

could you hold on a second I’ve got to take this...

​

I don’t wanna be a part of this addict generation

I won’t sign away my sovereignty to a numb consumer nation

so stand up now, reclaim your primal right to be ignored

it’s never going to change if we forget

​

I don’t ever wanna be, to be a part of this addict generation

I won’t sign away my sovereignty to a faceless corporation

so stand up now, reclaim your primal right to be ignored

it’s never going to change if we forget how to be bored
