When does convenience become complacency?

Lyrics

It’s just so damn convenient
Tell me, who could ask for more
Find finery, get groceries
Delivered to your door
And all the information
That fits within your hand
Comes with all kind of complications
Nobody understands
But it’s just so convenient

It’s just so damn convenient
They feed you with a spoon
They pile on the suggestions
Fill you up like a balloon
Before you even realize
You’re pouring time into the sink
There’s the theme song to the next episode
Before you’ve even time to think
But it’s just so convenient

God forbid that the grid goes down
And you’ve found you’ve forgotten the way around
Your own hometown
21st century society’s in a strange situation
We’re removed from the equation
Meanwhile the moon is ripe for human occupation

But it’s just so damn convenient
To let money make the rules
We’ll crucify the experts
And suffer all the fools
The canary in the coalmine
How you know it’s getting bad
Is when you pay for the subscription
And you still see all the ads
But it’s just so convenient

I listened to this right before I left the house tonight and it was definitely stuck in my head while driving. Nice track!

Yep, convenience will be the downfall of humanity, spot on with the message! And in a beautiful song nonetheless.

I aaaaabsolutely love this. This is a great message and something I'm trying to grapple with this FAWM as well. Nice!!!

Oh great song concept! I am really enjoying the beautiful melody and your lovely nimble voice navigating every twist and turn. This is a very well done acoustic one-take. Nice lyric writing and lyrical pacing. Super catchy tune.
