Check out "User You're Being Used" by Black Sheep Riot, an intense rock song that draws from hardcore punk, punk rock, and stoner influences. This powerful anthem critiques the deceptive maneuvers of companies that claim to be social but operate under a shady business model designed to manipulate and exploit users. With techniques akin to those used by casinos and con artists, these organizations engage in intermittent reinforcement and gamification, creating a cycle of addiction that harms society. This song serves as a call to awareness about the dark industry that profits from our attention. LYRICS Did you hear the news User you're being used By a bunch of sick dudes Who just see you as food Do you like to live in a cage A grid the size that they say A running rat in their hell of badges? Peanuts for the things you love most They're parasites you're the host How social's having a serial number? Can't ignore bits and screws 'cause they're all made for you Such a set of constraints That will drive you insane Designers paint it like a game Can't really communicate It's like the wall of a public bathroom Bank's the only one who gets paid They fondle your heart and head Then count to 3 and erase the sandbox Ask and you will have A bunch of lies A mafia smile Detergent You are not the client A close-knit gang Eyedrops you ads Aberrant flies On festering facts You're in their lab And they don't mind your suicide A psychopath With money trunks Mad scientist bulbs Go hit them hard Did you hear the news User you're being used By a bunch of sick dudes Who just see you as food User you're being used User you're being used User you're being used #UserYoureBeingUsed #BlackSheepRiot #AttentionEconomy
