Metric - Doomscroller Lyrics

Read Time:3 Minute, 29 Second

Lining up all the numbers under the names
Lining up all the numbers under the names
Notify the next of kin of the circumstances
Was it an act of God or an accident?
Act of God or an accident, or a consequence of a lower profile?
Salt of the earth, underpaid to serve you
Salt of the earth, underpaid to serve and teach your children
Salt of the earth, underpaid to serve and scrub the toilet
Salt of the earth, underpaid to serve and scrub the toilet
Ruling classes trickle piss from champagne glasses
Thats just how the evening passes

For a true doom scroller
And Im a true doom scroller
I cant seem to shut it down
Until the worst is over
And its never over

Arrogance of a coward hostile
Scum of the earth, overpaid to rob you
Scum of the earth, overpaid to rob and mock resistance
Scum of the earth, overpaid to rob anonymously from a distance
Scum of the earth, overpaid to rob anonymously
Ruling classes trickle piss from champagne glasses
History on repeat relapses
For a true doomscroller

Dog whistle links to a torch song
Torch song links to a statue, burning
Moon landing links to QAnon
Rabbit in a deep hole, keep on dancing

Lining up all the numbers under the names
Lining up all the numbers under the names

Boy, Im a true doomscroller
Im a true doomscroller
I cant seem to shut it down
Until the worst is over
And its never over

Dont give up yet, dont give up yet
Dont give up yet, dont give up now
Dont give up yet, dont give up yet
Dont give up yet, dont give up now
Dont give up yet, dont give up yet
Dont give up yet, dont give up now
Dont give up yet, dont give up yet
Dont give up yet, dont give up now
Dont give up yet, dont give up yet
Dont give up yet, dont give up now
Dont give up yet, dont give up yet
Dont give up yet, dont give up now
Dont give up yet, dont give up yet
Dont give up yet, dont give up now
Dont give up yet, dont give up yet
Dont give up yet, dont give up now
Dont give up yet, dont give up yet
Dont give up yet, dont give up now
Dont give up yet, dont give up yet
Dont give up yet, dont give up now
Dont give up yet, dont give up yet
Dont give up yet, dont give up now
Dont give up yet, dont give up yet
Dont give up yet, dont give up now

Take something for the pain
Not something to conceal it
More like a magnification mirror, full-size
Inner echo reflecting solace revived

Whatever you do, either way were gonna love you
Never mattered, either way were gonna love you
Whatever you do, either way were gonna love you
Never mattered, how many or how much more youve been through

Take this for the heartache
Not some cure to negate it
More like a magnification mirror, full-size
Inner reverberation happens outside
