"Gimme Back My Social Media" : FAWM

Gimme Back My Social Media

2 days ago by @sapient

There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

Another lyrics-only cos I'm travelling and lack guitars. But hopefully the sheer shouty punkness of this comes through. Honestly, I'd love to be singing this, but if you read it and like it, then have at it! 😁 #needsmusic #punk #lyricsonly

Lyrics

Gimme back my social media The internets just getting creepier AI slop and right wing grift Gets me down when I want a lift

Everything stared to slip away When Zuckerberg made liking a thing ok Life became a rush of chasing views And we all gave up on facts dictating the news

Gimme back my social connection Give Techbros the old one finger rejection Maga this, Reform that When I wanna see pics of next doors cat

Things got worse when Musk got bored of cars If only we could actually send him to mars With nothing but that book by Andy Weir I'd be happy to press the button, just hold my beer

Yeah, gimme back my social media The internets just getting creepier No TERFs no SUNO no racist bores Just cats and friends and the cricket scores

Please

NAILED IT. Remember when our feeds just used to be friends and what they were doing instead of a deluge of ads?

Love this - nailed a very relevant feeling in a (to my ears) very punky way! Even without a guitar you have the power flowing.

I’m 💯 with you on this! I wish we could go to simpler times with fb and insta but alas. Now I’m suspicious of all of it but not quite sure how to practically quit it. I love the verse about sending the douchiest of the douche bros out to space

@robynmackenzieTEAM 2d

I. Love. This. I feel very much the same way. And I agree with @headfirstonly about who needs yeeting and where.

Nice. Can relate. I got bumped off Meta for "not following the rules" (what rules they were were unspecified, but I suspect it was because I was using Fluff Busting Purity to weed out all the garbage) and I do not miss Facebook one bit. Mars is too good for Z or Musk. Just yeet them into the sun.
