Up-tempo, upbeat, catchy-as-fuck, hard-hitting bop. Driving drums, fuzzed-out guitars, synth stabs, and gang vocals. Think arena-rock chorus with punk urgency.

Lyrics
Intro
drums kick in, pounding fast
guitar riff buzzing
Hey! Hey! Hey!
It’s a neurochemical—con!—job!
Verse 1
I’ve been tricked by dopamine,
Sweet little hit from a crooked machine.
Every push, every pull, it’s a slot parade,
Keep me wired up, chasing what they made.
Serotonin sold in a plastic grin,
Oxytocin wrapped up in a phantom sin.
I’m a puppet, twitching on a screen,
Neon gods in a feeding routine.
Pre-Chorus
gang vocals chanting
Hook me! Cook me!
Wired like a circuit!
Shake me! Break me!
Yeah, I still deserve it!
Chorus
It’s a neurochemical con job!
Dance to the shock while they steal what you got.
Yeah, a neurochemical con job!
Hearts on fire but the brain gets robbed.
[backing vocals] (Oh oh oh oh!)
[backing vocals] (We’re all getting conned!)
Verse 2
Flashbang lights on a midnight scroll,
Sold my soul for a dopamine toll.
Push that button, watch me twitch,
Algorithm’s got me in the ditch.
Mirror neurons fakin’ my highs,
Selling me truth in a costume of lies.
I’m a lab rat wired to the cage,
Jumpin’ for crumbs while they turn the page.
Pre-Chorus
gang vocals shouting
Play me! Slay me!
Spin me like a record!
Drain me! Chain me!
Yeah, I want it better!
Chorus
It’s a neurochemical con job!
Dance to the shock while they steal what you got.
Yeah, a neurochemical con job!
Hearts on fire but the brain gets robbed.
[backing vocals] (Oh oh oh oh!)
[backing vocals] (We’re all getting conned!)
Bridge
guitar solo screaming, synths stabbing
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Rip out the wires, break away!
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Your mind’s not theirs today!
Final Chorus
It’s a neurochemical con job!
Dance to the shock while they steal what you got.
Yeah, a neurochemical con job!
Hearts on fire but the brain gets robbed.
[backing vocals] (Oh oh oh oh!)
[backing vocals] (We’re all getting conned!)
gang vocals
Con job! Con job!
Neurochemical con job!
Outro
drums pounding to sudden stop, guitars ringing
Hey! Hey! Hey!
It’s a neurochemical—con!—job!
