lyrics

I don’t wanna be a meme
I don’t wanna be some internet fodder
That place is really mean
It ate my son and it swallowed my daughter

What would happen if we all fought back?
Throw out our phones so we could get our thoughts back?

I don’t wanna be a meme
You take my photo and add a stupid caption
What does it even mean?
You chuckleheads just want a piece of my action

You’ll see what happens when we all fight back
Delete our pictures and get our rights back
I think it’s time we had our days and nights back
Don’t you?

I don’t wanna be a tweet
Trending for like an hour
I wanna feel my feet… on the ground
Not some ego trip that’s sapping my power

Go to bed turn out the lights and lie back
Stop trying to find the things that I think I lack
Don’t wanna live inside a square my whole life
Ignore my kids and avoid my lonely wife

I think it’s time I quit the whole damn scene before I scream

I don’t wanna be a meme
