Bye
Bye
Serialising the album Status by @meljoann:
Track 5
“‘Bye’ is about hatching an escape plan from billionaire-owned Big Social. I think we are collectively realising these people do not have humankind’s best interests at heart.
The track features a guest verse by Scout Hardcastle. In the video, watch out for the little cameos from my personal favourite Big Tech oligarch scumbags: Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, and Daniel Ek.
I’m leaving Instagram & Facebook on April 15th. Instead, I hang out on the Fediverse (Mastodon & other connected apps): a community-built, community-run alternative to Big Social. It’s a thrillingly neurodivergent space, full of empathetic, big-hearted people. I felt giddy and grateful when I found it.”

Lyrics
If it’s the last thing that I do
I’m gonna make certain that
I’m not working for you
Cause I got nothing to lose
I’ve never been so elastic
Digesting plastic
Oh
Never gonna serve by your poolside
You’re gonna feel so alone
I just exited while
I’m already so outside
Bye
Bye bye bye bye
If it’s a long way off for me
Got make certain the next ones
Who come after me
Get to do their fuckin’ thing
Not sniffing at yer chlorine white stain
Scrambling for our phones
You make us feel we’re alone
I can’t believe
What happens if we all
Leave
I try to round on it
I try to pound on it
Tryna make my money
Fuckers try to bound on it
Oh.
Hey.
Gotta get that, get that, get that
Gimme that
Oh.
Hey.
