The Social Network (Remastered)

Welcome
To the network
Where everyone's voice is heard
And the minute details of your life
Are spread across the world

Useless
Information is spread
Like a plague
Flooding
The world with mounds of meaningless bullshit
Families and friendships torn apart
By drama created through the network
Is this what you signed up for

Constantly bombarded
By pointless messages

And now everyone is an expert
In all known subjects
In an effort to prove themselves
The smartest person you know
Images are filtered
Beyond all recognition
By the insecure
To convince the world they're beautiful

Do you really think
That all of these people
Are your friends
They lurk in the shadows
Watching
Comparing their lives to yours
Their intentions aren't true
They don't want to see you successful
They thrive off the misery of others
So they can feel better
About themselves

As you look back on your life
See the time that you have wasted
Staring at a digital screen
Sucking in calculated misinformation
All of that time is gone
Consumed by the network
And when it's all said and done
What have you gained
Nothing
