Originality Paradox

Words / lyrics

Lyrics

If you make a thing that only YOU can comprehend
A thousand views in five long years is how the deal will end
If you copy-paste the template with a small angle change
It's a total bloody minefield, YouTube cuts your brain

If you make a thing that's new, based on what is out there now
Not because it's trendy but because it burns your brow
Because it answers one of your burning questions deeply inside
You get hundreds of views, and zero subscribers on the ride

Too original alone way too original for them
Sitting on my throne no one gets the hidden gem

But I do the same, but I play the game
SO YOUTUBE SLAP THE SLOP
Too original alone, sitting on my throne
SO YOUTUBE SLAP THE SLOP
Hundreds of views, zero subscribers tonight
But the pipeline is running and the tracks are hitting right
¡HLOP THE SLOP! ¡HLOP THE SLOP!

Two weeks in the matrix Zero subscribers
But the pipeline never lies, my friend
Thank you, barber
