The Like Thing

Let's make a plan for what we're going to do today
Let's start a brand, promoting it the easy way
We'll place our ads to keep our user base engaged
And you know that everybody knows that it's not that hard to grow
Let's find a way to keep the conversations new
We know the way to drive them through
At least, I think we do

Do the heart thing
Do the like thing
Do the star thing
Get your base grown
Do the friend thing
Do the following
I'm guessing that it makes you feel known

We thought it would be easier
Nobody will engage
I thought that they'd all be needier
I wanted to win it all, but everyone else is greedier
And now you know what everybody knows
That it's really hard to grow

You panic
Update your profile, posting pictures of your food and lifestyle
Coming down with the shakes
We need more clicks
Just one more like
Just one more fix
We just posted something
Something that was sure to trend
But it did not contend
What happened to all my friends?

I guess I gotta do the heart thing
Do the like thing
Do the star thing
Get your base grown
Do the friend thing
Do the following
Nobody's gonna love you if you don't
Do the star thing
Do the like thing
Do the heart thing
Never be alone
Do the following
Do it if you wanna stay known

Just one more like
Just one more click
Just one more like
Just one more fix
Just one more like
Just one more click
Just one more like
Just one more fix
Just one more like
Just one more click
Just one more like
Just one more fix

We just posted something
Something that was sure to trend
But it did not contend
Are these people really friends?

I guess I gotta do the heart thing
Do the like thing
Do the star thing
Never be alone
Do the friend thing
Do the following
Nobody's gonna love you if you don't, no
Do the star thing
Do the like thing
Do the heart thing
Get your base grown
Do the following
Do it if you want to stay known
