Perusing on the inter-webs, scrolling through the stories
Enjoying posts about dogs and cats, reveling in past glories
One thumb flick too far it seems, and suddenly I'm greeted
By angry belligerent ramblings, that some furious soul has tweeted.
My anxiety sets into overdrive. For the state of the world, I despair
From the one-upmanship and self-congratulatory desire to overshare!
Social Media, oh Social Media!
It'll drive you up the wall, by selling falsehoods to miss lead ya!
Making your perspective shitter, or just jaded, sad and bitter
Hyperbole won't make anyone more intelligent or fitter!
Social Media, oh Social Media!
Throwing to the wind or international press standards procedure!
But be aware of all the total bullshit they drip feed to ya!
Your little bubble won't be burst on Social Media!
Browsing through the channels, for some stimulative fix
Ending up on 'Question Time', debating politics
Blood starts boiling instantly and profuse obscenities,
Pour onto the screen without second thought
To show that I'm displeased.
Stress levels are rising substantially,
And the anger is over the scale
If this were real world, I might take some action
That could land me in jail.
Social Media, oh Social Media!
All the dubious news stories coming in at lightning speed to ya!
Leaving little time to think, but passing on before you blink.
That biting retort taking far too much thought,
But it comes easier when you've had a drink!
Social Media, oh Social Media!
Never letting the truth of any situations impede ya!
But people will never admit defeat, and ultimately concede to ya!
Would we all get on much better without Social Media?
Who am I putting this out for? Whom am I trying to impress?
Nobody ever changed their mind based on 280 characters or less!
How could they disagree with me? How could they think I'm wrong?
I find it helps to remind myself, by singing you this song!
Social Media, oh Social Media!
A fine platform for old school friends,
And creative types to plead to ya!
To help fund their kick-starter, or their pyramid selling scheme
Or join local community forums that make one want to scream.
Social Media, oh Social Media!
A place where people sell old stuff, that they no longer need to ya!
But please don't take as gospel every truth that they decree to ya,
And remember nothing online ever comes completely come free to ya,
And everyone has their agenda that they'll adamantly defend!
No, nothing is quite what it seems on Social Media!
