lyrics

SOCIAL MEDIA RETIREMENT CAMP

In the eye of a needle is a vacancy of space.
In social media: the regrets you can’t erase.
The body is vacant,
So the mind will lay to rest.
You are forsaken,
Cos you think it’s off your chest.

Maybe your headstone got it wrong,
Maybe your hopes and dreams are gone,
Cos you “Retired at 21,”
But you’ll forever be a song in social media.
In social media.

If you loved a hundred men,
Who were all, who were all, the same old man.
Would you make the same mistakes again, and again?
You loved a hundred men,
Who were all your father in the end.
Can’t make the same mistakes again -- it’s not them!

In social media retirement camp.
“I’m sorry,
But this one is going to end up on your permanent record!”
