Lyrics

Ah, clickbait, the Internet's version of a dodgy street magician promising to saw a supermodel in half. You know the drill. You're scrolling through your newsfeed, minding your own business, when suddenly, there it is: 'This one weird trick will change your life forever!' Oh, really? Does it involve turning water into wine, because I could definitely get on board with that!
[Verse]
Scrolling through my feed, just killing time,
But all I see are headlines trying to blow my mind.
"One weird trick" or "You won't believe,"
But it's just clickbait, trying to deceive.

[Pre-Chorus]
Arrows pointing to nowhere, circles all around,
Faces making faces that would make a clown proud.
I click through the pages, trying to find the truth,
But all I find is nonsense, just a wasted youth.
[Chorus]
Clickbait, clickbait, it's everywhere I see,
Selling dreams and fantasies, but it's all just make-believe.
Clickbait, clickbait, it's the junk food for the mind,
Feeding us with empty promises, leaving us behind.

[Verse]
Child stars growing up, you won't believe your eyes,
But when you click, it's just the same old lies.
Ten pages later, I'm lost in the maze,
Just trying to find the point in this endless craze.
[Pre-Chorus]
Arrows pointing to nowhere, circles all around,
Faces making faces that would make a clown proud.
I click through the pages, trying to find the truth,
But all I find is nonsense, just a wasted youth.

[Chorus]
Clickbait, clickbait, it's everywhere I see,
Selling dreams and fantasies, but it's all just make-believe.
Clickbait, clickbait, it's the junk food for the mind,
Feeding us with empty promises, leaving us behind.
