about

We gamble & bet our humanity in the digital world.

Sweepstake narrates how we share everything on our social media pages in the hope of accumulating 'digital wealth', but this amounts to nothing in the real world.

Humans are so eager to give up so much, both physically and mentally, for fake, unsustainable virtual wealth. These social platforms, our phones, online advertising; they are all here to manipulate us.

They have changed our behaviour as a society, as humanity. We have two personas now, the real world us and the online us.

And the sad thing is; we fully recognise it and accept it. Clout has the value of gold, and we're chasing rainbows. Join us and dance to the tune of our algorithmic masters.

lyrics

Over sharing,
Rewarded with counterfeit caring
Digital wealth
That’s costing but reality amounts to nothing

Is this healthy
Finding allies to combat the heartache
And is this reality
All your substance in a Sweepstake

Take me
Take my body
You can use me but give me money
Take me
Take my body
You can use me but give me legacy

Opulence and affluence
Wouldn’t it bring ease
Fix any problem and I could sold ‘em
If only I were wealthy

Is this healthy
Seeking wealth as salvation
And is this reality
If hope for the future’s tied up in adoration


Take me
Take my body
You can use me but give me money
Take me
Take my body
You can use me but give me legacy
And I won’t mind
Take me
Take my body
You can use me but give me money

Encouraging the awful
Their crawling from their tunnels
Watch out if you’re not careful you’ll be sucked in too
Designed for distraction
And looks are so uncertain
Antagonise for purpose
Free will abuse

Take me
Take my body
Use me
Take me
Take my body, yeah
And I won’t mind
Take me take my body
Use me but give me money
