Passing Through from Headphone Soda by Een Glish

[Intro]
The screen reader on ChromeOS, ChromeVox, is pr-
Oops, sorry about that
Thanks for making it this far
A round of applause for you all, for making this happen
Thanks, seriously
I'm just waiting for this powerpoint to load
Ahem, ok!

[Verse 1: Een Glish]
What a jester, fool, and a hypocrite too
Aware of the very things I'm contributing to
And no matter how much damage control that I do
My engagement and data's inherently used
I've been tryna look around for a change of view
But there's only so much a single user can do
Still I haven't found a system worth attaching to
So as far as I'm concerned I'm only passing through (okay)
Everyone prefers the web they remember (of course)
It was here before me and it'll be here after
The book of eternal September (wow)
I’m just glad that I have a chapter
Planned obsolescence, enshittification (eek!)
Sounds like a hostage situation (ha, o-o-o)
So many bots so many agents (wait)
Maybe I should rewatch The Matrix

[Chorus]
ChromeVox Spoken Feedback is read-
Oh my Google!
Ok, I'm shutting the Chromebook down
No more Chromebook
No Pomegranates—remember that?
Anyone?
Oh no, I'm losing them!

[Verse 2: Een Glish]
Ok
I know there’s not much time left
And i miss kicking it doing sidequests
So I sidestep, but the truth is
I'm still tryna fill the void Trickster Online left (eek)
I grew up on family computers
And online arcade SWFs
Free games off of Caiman.us
With mods coded in DAT files and .LUAs
From my book, here’s a random page:
I was mad back when Kidz bop surpassed my age
Got a word of wisdom from a technology sage:
Make a server at your home, keep your backups saved (eek)
Used to surf the googs and do stickups
But now my radar is screwed with loose pickups
Our group surely induced a few hiccups
The algorithm never knew what to do with us

[Outtro: Een Glish, Hatsune Miku]
The screen reader on ChromeOS, ChromeVox, is pr-
What? Who's doing that
28%
I swear that wasn't me
Oh, Miku!
It's the rule of threes
Hahaha, thank you!
