System 1 Lyrics

There is endless complexity

When you know where to look

A relentless

Assault on your senses

An overload of information to be archived and understood

Never-ending nuances

A never-ending quest

But sometimes all you want is resolve

Sometimes all you want is System one

For the boy to get the girl

For the bad guy to get hurt

For a story and a selfie in the sunset

There are a million sides

To every allegorical coin

A thousand questions

For every answer

Infinite choice

There's a universe waiting to be unraveled

There is always another essence to extract

But sometimes all you want is resolve

Sometimes all you want is System one

For the boy to get the girl

For the bad guy to get hurt

For a story and a selfie in the sunset

Predators, peddlers and priests

They can tell when you're scared

They sense when you are weak

Demagogues and editors-in-chief

Trading tales of resentment and fear

Sometimes all you want is resolve

Sometimes all you want is System one

For the boy to get the girl

For the bad guy to get hurt

For a story and a selfie in the sunset
