I’ve watched every episode of Black Mirror
Now I can hear
The Warning so clear
Black Mirror is near
Just ‘round the corner we’re right on the brink
Black Mirror will be here sooner than we think
Black Mirror Is Here
Do you accept iTunes Terms & Conditions
Without reading iTunes Terms & Conditions?
Yeah, that’s a Black Mirror
Do you use your face
To unlock your phone
It’s being sent to a place
To 3D print your clone
Yeah, we’re in Black Mirror
Black Mirror is Here
The technology you love will ruin your life
And all your relationships will be destroyed!
And you will opt-in
Like original sin
Like Eve ate the Apple
Our demise will be due to Apple
Soon you’ll hump a robot of your husband who dies in a car wreck
Or enslave your coworkers’ clones in some weird kind of Star Trek
Or murder people called roaches drowning out their cries for help
Or block people in real life or rate them like they’re Yelp
It’s all happening in 10 minutes, you’ll see
Soon you will be on national TV
F*cking a pig
Let’s just be Amish, to the past we’ll return
’Cause no life was ruined by oil lamp or butter churn
The technology you love will ruin your life
And all your relationships will be destroyed!
And you’ll volunteer
For your personal Black Mirror
Like you drop a grand for the iPhone XS
To this dystopia you’ll gladly say yes!
When technology and human nature collide
And all your worst instincts are magnified
And every relationship you hold dear is dead
Cuz of the chip you volunteered to have installed in your head
I hope in your dystopian nightmare where it’s
Your job to ride stationary bikes for merits
And you’re convinced to do porn by talent competitions
You’ll realize you could’ve heeded my admonitions
It was all right there in the Terms & Conditions
And you opted-in, you gave the permissions
You’re gonna Black Mirror, you’re not above it
We all will Black Mirror, we’re gonna love it
and then we’ll DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE
The technology we love will ruin our lives
And all our relationships will be destroyed!
Anyway, enjoy looking at your phone more than you look at your friends.
