Lyrics
Rubberneck, over there
Take a picture, don't stare
Bet you can't look away
You can get a life any day
Pick a panorama
Post an instagram, aw
This was someone's grandma
What's it matter now
What's the chatter now?
Rubberneck, click go
You got a right to know
Every ugly detail
Get it retail
Ready, tell
Hey you, look at me
I'm on the loose, I'm an insect
Zoom out, move in tight
You got a right
To your rubberneck
Rubberneck, over here
You look, I'll steer
Get a little closer
Get every nose hair
If there's nothing here to see
Why they stretching out the tape?
You're agape rubbernecking
Lift the cape, flash,
Wait a second
Hey you, is it dead?
I never said you could bottleneck
Zoom out, move in tight
You got a right
To your rubberneck
Hey fool, click a link
We're gonna send you on a train wreck
Power down, hands off brakes
I got your eyesight
You got the shakes
So what'll it be now?
What do you see now?
In the surreal now
We're screening
Rubber check, bounce
Rubber soul, bounce
Where'd they go?
If a soul weighs an ounce
Who can fetch it?
Go on, catch it if you can
Son of Man knows better
We can reconnect
Body and soul
We can resurrect
We've got the goal
A virtual soul
Now zoom out
Move in tight
You got a right
To your rubberneck
Hey fool, click a link
We're comin' on another train wreck
Zoom in, nice and tight
We've got the right to your
To your...
Hey you
Click here
We've got the goal
A virtual soul
Hey you
Click here
We've got the goal
A virtual soul
Hey you
Click here
We've got the goal
A virtual soul
Hey you
Click here
We've got the goal
A virtual soul

About The Song
From Goliath: A Song By Song Description, NewReleaseTuesday.com, November 17th, 2014:
The idea that a soul could live online--a virtual soul--seemed interesting. The first verse deals with voyeurism, which quickly shape-shifts into a whole new world of hurt. That "Instagram" line came after the song was done--I didn't want to reference anything as ephemeral as a social media app, but I couldn't give up coupling Instagram-Aww with Grandma.
