Midway

Nobody wants things for you
They want things from you
Nobody flatters you
They want to be flattered by you
No better than a port
Being plugged for
Desired content
Put a social token behind your ear
And pull it out from the other
You're supposed to clap
Because they think they passed
Through your mind
As effortless as a pinball
Insert coin
Pull lever
You can practice
Giving them what they want
They'll never stay long
There is always a machine
Better than you
More willing to play along
