A song about social media…

Lyrics:

It was so easy to understand
But as time has passed
All reason lost command
What was right is wrong
And what’s left is disconnected
How did this happen
This was not to be expected

Words lost their meaning
Subtlety extinct
Intelligence trumped by feeling 
Nuance indistinct
While there’s more communication
The less we talk
Put down the device and go out for a walk

Pick your side
Fight for glory
You need to be
On the right side of history

No room for discussion
No time for debate
Just push your narrative
And feed off the hate

Pick your side
Swallow the story
Justify your truth
Infinite digital purgatory

No room for reason
No time for facts
Just join the army
And carry out the attack

The age of the pointless
Communication has passed
The culture of cancel 
Its flag nailed to the mast
They eat themselves wholesale 
Safety in the circle jerk
Just another experiment that can never work

The media isn’t social
Unless you’re towing the line
The left think they’re right
And the right’s left behind
They’re both cheeks of the same stupid arse
Desperately wanting not to be left in the past

Pick your side
Fight for glory
You need to be
On the right side of history

No room for discussion
No time for debate
Just push your narrative
And feed off the hate

Pick your side
Swallow the story
Justify your truth
Infinite digital purgatory

No room for reason
No time for facts
Just join the army
And carry out the attack
