Token Appreciation Society

Somebody killed the radio star
I know I wasn't there to see it
I can't see the evidence of
The one who tried to beat it
It's everywhere
Apparently it's everywhere
It's everywhere

Token appreciation society
Oh I don't know what that is
I don't think I'll ever know

Internet killed the video star
I was just old enough to see it
Everybody sees the difference now
But it's too big to beat it
It's everywhere
I hear
The evidence is everywhere

And I don't know if they're right
It's everywhere
But it sure doesn't feel I'm wrong

Token appreciation society
Oh society will fall
But I wouldn't call this a society

If this is society
Then I do not recognise it
I believe I have not recognised it for years
Perhaps decades
Perhaps centuries
Perhaps what we know of society has never been so
Perhaps it has always been false
Perhaps it has always been a lie
