Jefferson Berry and the UAC - How Could You Think That

How Could You Think That?
Jefferson Berry

Sitting across the table
He’s looking into his screen
She’s looking fine while at the same time
She’d be checking out her feed

She only calls him baby
And sugar has replaced her real name
Their eyes rarely meet
As they save and delete
The things they’d never say

How Could You Think That?
Emoji Love was enough
How Could You Think That?
That you could live to give it all up

Algorithm supersized
To give them what they want to believe
Disinformation, a world of lies
About how most things aught to be

Making it up as they go
With a digital sleight of hand
If you buy this, you’ll wanna see that
Never stopping to understand

How Could You Think That?
That all of this is OK.
How Could You Think That?
There couldn’t be cleaner way.

Getting all the answers
That No one will ever need
Pay for your convenience
with our privacy
Thinking that modern living
Isn’t all that Bad
Posting like you’re making a difference
How Could You Think That?

Furlough confrontation
Another downsizing phase
Everyone knew it was coming
with the flushing in the plumbing
For days and days

His best friend took a promotion
But that was in some other time
Now face to face has been replaced
By his last log-in online

How Could You Think That?
After all of these years
How Could You Think That?
That the display of my face would disappear
