TikTok Blues Salish Sea version

Moving through the days, life slips through my grasp,
Hands chase after moments, mind tries to unclasp.
Future dreams and visions still waiting to unfold,
In the chase for what's elusive, striving to be bold.
Before the wear and tear claim the best of me,
Feeling every heartbeat, unsure of what’s to be.
Longing for the sunrise, the first light of a new dawn,
In this constant hustle, trying to find where I belong.

Algorithms know us better than our friends,
Feeding us the bullshit, that never ends.
Selling our secrets to the highest bid,
We gave up our freedom, now ain't that a kid?

(Chorus)
TikTok blues, they got us in a trance,
Surveillance state, while we do our little dance.
TikTok blues, privacy's a joke,
In this brave new world, we're all goin' up in smoke.

(Bridge)
You think you're just dancin', having some fun,
But Big Brother's watchin', and you're under the gun.
Every swipe, every click, they’re trackin' your way,
Your life's just a product in this modern day.

(Chorus)
TikTok blues, they got us in a trance,
Surveillance state, while we do our little dance.
TikTok blues, privacy's a joke,
In this brave new world, we're all goin' up in smoke.

(Verse 3)
From Beijing to your bedroom, the watchers keep an eye,
Laughin' at your cat vids, as your freedoms die.
We traded our brains for the dopamine fix,
Now we're all puppets  with there dirty little tricks.
