Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger (triple j Like A Version)

Some songs punch.
Others whisper truth through a smile.

This one? It just points.

We’ve cracked atoms, cloned organs, launched billionaires into orbit
but underneath it all, we’re still chasing sparkle, still measuring worth in glitter.
Like cavemen in suits.
Still trading shiny rocks.

This track doesn’t mock. It doesn’t rage.
It simply walks beside you like a friend
and wonders out loud,
How far have we really come?

[Verse 1]
Two cavemen squatted by a flame
Each one trying to stake his claim
One had amber, one had flint
They called it wealth, they grinned and squint
No words for greed, no thoughts of stocks
Just wide-eyed trades for shiny rocks

[Chorus]
Now we wear watches worth a home
Crowns of chrome and gemstone phones
We’ve mapped the stars, we’ve hacked the clocks
But we’re still just trading shiny rocks
We crave applause, we mine the earth
We chase reflections, not our worth
Progress hums and power mocks
While we keep trading shiny rocks

[Verse 2]
We build machines with minds that learn
Send billionaires on joyride turns
We scroll for likes, we chase the praise
Wrap empty lives in golden chains
We’ve got rockets fueled by debt and talk
Still kneeling at the shrine of rocks

[Chorus]
Now we wear watches worth a home
Crowns of chrome and gemstone phones
We’ve mapped the stars, we’ve hacked the clocks
But we’re still just trading shiny rocks
We crave applause, we mine the earth
We chase reflections, not our worth
Progress hums and power mocks
While we keep trading shiny rocks

[Verse 3]
They keep us dazzled, keep us numb
With polished dreams and glittered crumbs
We trade our time, we sell our peace
For fleeting highs and a longer lease
We're moving fast but going nowhere
Chained to shine we shouldn’t wear.

[Bridge]
But what if we all saw the thread
Stopped chasing shine, and lived instead
Just food and shelter, peace and rest
The kind of wealth that feeds us best
They’d call it crisis, we’d call it peace
The day the buying had to cease

[Final Chorus]
We’ve built the skies and split the seas
But still bow down to jewelry
We dress it up, we call it worth
Still selling dreams for bits of dirt
Progress hums and power mocks
While we keep trading shiny rocks

Still Trading Shiny Rocks
