The Internet

Compositor: Lauren Tate

And that's my problem with females in this day and age
They think that it's fine to incite violence against men
But I'm here, Harry Dick, saying now that it's not right, it's not right
And all I ever hear about online is that transgenderism is the new way
Or that women should be seen as superior to men
But feminism will be the death of us all, aargh!

All these people offended by transgenders
Send your children to church to God loving sex offenders
If you wanna be outraged give them the front page
Your anger's beneficial never question their real aim
'Cause while you're telling trans people they don't exist
And saying drag queens will touch your kids
The people go hungry with no heating indoors
While Prince Andrew's in a king-sized bed we paid for

So put your fingers in your ears if you don't wanna hear this
But part of me knows you're kinda loving you hate this
We're addicted to drama like we're addicted to porn
In comment sections, you don't even like your friends anymore

It's all this is wrong, this is right, this is day, this is quite
Actually an article debunked but that's fine
'Cause it pushes the agenda of the straight white guy
Who's been left out and bullied by women online

I speak my mind, you're offended, I don't like where it's headed
The people speaking louder than the other are the ones that get the credit
Doesn't matter if technically there's no evidence to prove
Ain't no way you're ever gonna get a word in with this dude

Hey I saw that you had no opinion? Completely neutral?
That's weird, so meet the algorithm
It will direct you to things you didn't know that you cared about
Like how you're 24, no life, love life?
What's that all about?

Blame the woman and feminism, what?
Blame the woman and feminism, well
You hear the same thing repeated eventually
You snap when your mother tells you to do laundry

'Cause this is the internet
Everything you see will manifest inside
Everything you do will play a little part of it
You must choose left or right
'Cause this is the internet
Everything you are will soon be mine
Radicalize you all for the fun of it
You must choose or you must die, die

Lately it's all felt a little bit overwhelmed
The internet's seeped into my family as well
Is my brother being radicalized by the incels online?
Are people getting more sexist or is it all in my mind?
Every topic of conversation seems to end in frustration
I never knew half I did, which I liked
'Cause now in sitting having dinner while debating the matter
Of abortion and transgender rights

Welcome to the circus, the 1% of people that earned this
Ability to watch as we are drained by the servers
Most the people here are the reason for murders
The reason why young girls be feeling so worthless
(It's all lies)
They just spread misinformation
To keep us all in formation
To do whatever the fuck
(It's not right)
They just make someone the target to get ya
Angry and triggers so they can cover shit up

'Cause this is the internet
Everything you see will manifest inside
Everything you do will play a little part of it
You must choose left or right
'Cause this is the internet
Everything you are will soon be mine
Radicalize you all for the fun of it
You must choose or you must die

Late night surfing the deep dark web
One click wrong and he never came back
Wasn't the same when he'd seen that video
Kinda addicted to the thrill that it gave him though
Ha, nothing shocks the same
Images burnt holes inside his brain
He watches again until he doesn't react
Desensitized when that shit got bad
Disassociates, watches some porn just to feel again
But nothing he does will feed the ache
Nothing he does takes it away
So instead he shows his friends
And now all of them are hooked instead
You wanna protect kids inside your home
When the danger is right there inside their phone

'Cause this is the internet
Everything you see will manifest inside
Everything you do will play a little part of it
You must choose left or right
'Cause this is the internet
Everything you are will soon be mine
Radicalize you all for the fun of it
You must choose or you must die
You must die

And those were the rules
That you agreed to when you signed up
But you know we made the text really long
So most people like yourself
Didn't actually read it, but yes
Your anger made us so much money
So thank you, please continue hating
And maybe our next target could be straight people?
Haha, don't worry
We only use minority groups
It's, ah, usually more successful
Anyway, keep scrolling
You fucking worthless piece of human shit
